I grew up in a tough neighborhood, without many advantages and I had to work twice as hard to get ahead. In Congress, I’ll never forget where I came from or the people I represent. I’ll fight to keep and create good jobs, make our neighborhoods safer, improve our schools, expand access to college and make healthcare more affordable.

My family has lived in the San Gabriel Valley for over thirty years and I have been privileged to represent areas of the San Gabriel Valley in the State Senate for the last seven years.

During the economic crisis of the late 1990s, I took on the political interests and saved 25,000 local jobs. In Congress, I’ll help create thousands of new jobs and stop taxpayer bailouts for corporate CEOs and Wall Street bankers.

As a State Senator, I passed a groundbreaking law that holds gang leaders financially liable for the crimes they commit. I am committed to providing job training, mentoring and after school programs to keep our kids away from gangs.

Last year, I joined Supervisor Molina to secure $1.8 billion of Measure R funds for transportation projects that will reduce traffic in the San Gabriel Valley.

In Congress, I will continue the legacy of Hilda Solis and work with President Obama to bring about the change we need. I’m proud to have the support of Supervisor Gloria Molina, Senator Gloria Romero, Sheriff Lee Baca and over 100 local elected officials, State Legislators and Members of Congress.

It will be an honor and a privilege to have your vote on May 19th.

Senator Gil Cedillo
Candidate, 32nd Congressional District
