Member of the State Assembly, 35th District
Name: ANDRAE GONZALES
Occupation: COUNCILMEMBER/NONPROFIT DIRECTOR
Dear Neighbor,
Kern County is my home, and I’ve been fortunate to serve our communities as a city councilmember, school board president, and nonprofit leader.
I’m running for State Assembly to fight for affordability, build housing, raise wages, invest in schools, and keep communities safe. I’ll listen to the residents of our district and work hard to deliver results.
I’m the only candidate endorsed by the Democratic Party because I have a record of fighting for positive change in our communities. I’m also endorsed by groups representing local teachers, firefighters, construction workers, childcare providers, and small business owners.
In the State Assembly, I will fight to:
- Build housing and help first-time homebuyers.
- Improve schools and lower barriers to higher education.
- Stop the rising costs of gas, groceries, and other necessities.
- Help businesses create jobs that pay good wages.
- Secure the funding to build a medical school in Kern County.
As a Bakersfield Councilmember, I’ve worked to build new parks, make neighborhoods safer, and create the valley’s first community land trust to help first-time homebuyers. As a school board president, I’ve improved parent and community engagement with our schools.
Professionally, I’ve worked as the Executive Director of Stewards, a nonprofit that helps protect Social Security benefits for seniors and adults with disabilities. I’ve also co-founded three different nonprofits that focus on revitalizing communities and helping Kern County youth and families.
