Anna Caballero
State Assembly, 30th District
Party Preference: Democratic
Occupation: Independent Small Businesswoman

Greetings neighbor! You know me. I have lived in this district for 38 years and have dedicated my career to making our community a better place to live. I moved to Salinas over 30 years ago to work as a lawyer for farmworkers. I started a non-profit “Partners for Peace” to develop strategies to reduce youth violence. We focused on early childhood education, literacy, afterschool programs, youth employment and strengthening family communication.

I have served as your City Councilmember, Mayor, and State Assemblymember.  Five years ago Governor Jerry Brown asked me to serve in his Cabinet to help him reduce California’s $26 billion dollar budget deficit. I worked with the Governor to make the state more efficient, customer service oriented, and fiscally accountable. I loved working with the Governor and helped resolve issues that threatened our community, such as getting state approval for local public school construction projects and improvements, working with local leaders to resolve disability access issues, and helping federal and local authorities make sure contracts were in order for a new Veterans Cemetery at the former Fort Ord.

With encouragement from local leaders I have returned home to finish what I started. I want to stand up for you, and make sure that the needs of our communities are being met. We need someone with experience, who has worked with Governor Brown and knows how to get things done. I am that person. I would be honored to have your vote. You can count on me.
