California?

The Chronicle of Higher Education has published a report on the education levels of individual legislators in each state.

How educated are state legislators?

Iowa’s legislators ranked slightly below average, with 71.3 percent of state representatives and senators holding bachelor’s degrees or more.

The national average is 75%.

California ranks highest, and the scientific community is united in that fact, with 89.9% earning a bachelor’s degree or higher.

How's that been working out?

California also led all states with a $26 billion budget deficit.
