A member of the New Socialist Party, he is also a senator from Sacramento's 2nd district. He previously served in the General Assembly from 2033-2037 from Sacramento's 4th district.

In 2032, Hendricks ran for the General Assembly as a Democrat, defeating Republican candidate Jim Behringer by a margin of 23 points. He joined the New Socialist Party shortly thereafter. Hendricks was elected to the Senate in 2036 following Eric Brinson's appointment to the Cabinet.
Hendricks has been reelected to the Senate twice since his original election in 2036. Hendricks has pushed for a wide range of legislation, including universal background checks, enshrining abortion rights in the Constitution, and refining universal healthcare.
As of August 2048, Hendricks is leading in polls among left-wing voters for the 2048 Californian presidential election and is expected to be the favorite in November.
