Hello, I am Sonia Ledo and I am honored to have taken first place in the California State Assembly District 15 primary race. Now we approach the general runoff election on November 5th, a crucial election that will determine the direction of California.
I am not a career politician. Instead, I bring a fresh perspective and a genuine commitment to solving our most urgent problems and serving the best interests of our district.
Professionally, I am a bilingual self-employed real estate professional with a degree in legal studies. As a single mother of four adult sons, including autistic twins, I understand the importance of compassion, resilience, and determination in facing life's challenges.
My personal experiences have shaped my perspective and drive to advocate for policies that support families like mine, and I am committed to being a voice for all members of our community.
I am dedicated to making tough decisions to improve our quality of life by addressing with policy our increased crime, taxes and cost of living that continues to drive people and business away. I will represent you with fairness, transparency, and a strong work ethic on all issues ensuring that the voices of our community are heard and valued.
My journey is deeply rooted in the ethical values instilled by my immigrant parents who left corrupt and oppressive governments in Nicaragua and Cuba to build a better life here in California. With limited education, my mother raised 5 children while working at the See's Candies factory in South San Francisco. My father is a proud United States Army Veteran. From a young age, I learned the value of hard work, strong ethics, and working collaboratively.
Born and raised in San Francisco, I've resided in Contra Costa County for over three decades. Contra Costa is where I raised my sons, built my business from scratch and where you can find me hiking the beautiful open spaces with my dog. I am deeply connected to the diverse communities that make up our district in Antioch, Crockett, Concord, Pleasant Hill, Martinez, Pittsburg, Brentwood, Clayton and other unincorporated areas.
To learn more about me and my top priorities as a member of the State Assembly, go to Who Is Sonia Ledo?
I am humbled by the opportunity to earn your trust and support as we work together to build a brighter future for California.
-Sonia
INTEGRITY & ETHICS MATTER
