First elected to the Assembly in 2012 to represent the 66th Assembly District, Muratsuchi was defeated in his 2014 bid for reelection by Republican David Hadley.

Prior to his service in the Assembly, he was a deputy California Attorney General, trustee for the Torrance Unified School District, and trustee for the Southern California Regional Occupation Center.
Muratsuchi grew up in Okinawa, then administered by the United States military, and his father was a civilian employee of the United States Army. Due to his father's job he was raised on various military bases overseas. He attended the University of California, Berkeley and UCLA School of Law.
