Vanessa Delgado. Building Opportunity for all of us.

Every person in search of the American Dream shares two goals: economic opportunity and a comfortable, affordable home where they can raise a family.

Vanessa Delgado is a builder. She is the only candidate for State Senate with a proven record of creating economic opportunity and affordable housing for middle class families.

As both a public servant and private sector businesswoman, Delgado has made a tangible difference for our communities. That’s how we know she will make a difference for us in the State Senate.

As the founding partner of a highly respected development company, Delgado has built economic opportunity for thousands of Southern Californians, and affordable housing for hundreds of middle class families and the homeless.

In the process, she’s created 15,000 jobs in construction, retail, and suppliers; new stores for middle class neighborhoods; and new opportunities for the countless small businesses that provide goods and services.

Just as importantly, Delgado has helped to transform communities by replacing abandoned properties with middle class homes and thriving businesses.

And, those same projects produced new revenues for local cities, allowing them to improve police, fire, and other local services.

Meanwhile, as Mayor of Montebello, Delgado has facilitated private sector investment that will bring new housing, retail, hotel, jobs to the area. And, she reduced red tape and increased transparency.

In the State Senate, Delgado will continue her work to build opportunity for us. She will focus on practical solutions to build more housing that is affordable for families in our community, she will push for tax incentives that encourage businesses to create new jobs for local residents, and she will fight to reduce the cost of healthcare.

Vanessa Delgado is the kind of public servant we need during these challenging times:

She’s a builder, not a divider. Too many elected officials in Sacramento and Washington spend their time and energy finding ways to tear us apart in order to further their own political careers. Delgado has a proven record of bringing people together to build opportunities and communities.
She’s a doer, not a talker. Unlike the career politicians who jump at every chance to claim credit, Delgado cares about results. She has dedicated her career to making life better for working families, and that’s what she’ll continue to do in the Senate.
She’s a source of pride, not embarrassment. Sadly, our last Senator brought shame on himself and our community. Delgado represents the best of us. Like so many of us, she grew up in humble circumstances, worked hard, and achieved her dreams. Now she’s helping others do the same.
