Ledo outlines her qualifications for state Assembly

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA (Oct. 17, 2024) — Hello, I’m Sonia Ledo, and I’m running for the California state Assembly because I’m committed to making real change in District 15.

I’m not a career politician – I’m a self-employed businesswoman who has spent more than 30 years building a career and a life here in Contra Costa County.

I’m also a single mother of four sons, including autistic twins, and I know firsthand the struggles families face. I’ve spent years navigating the complexities of raising children with disabilities and juggling the demands of running a business. These experiences have shaped my deep commitment to advocate for policies that truly support families like mine.

I’m proud to have earned the endorsements of local law enforcement associations, including the Martinez Police Officers Association and the Contra Costa County Deputy District Attorneys’ Association. I support Prop. 36 and believe in expanding technology for our police departments to keep our communities safer. We need to be smart about crime and public safety, and I will work to ensure our police have the resources they need while promoting transparency and accountability.

Supporting small business

Beyond public safety, I am deeply invested in supporting small businesses and cutting unnecessary regulations that stifle growth. I understand how burdensome regulations can hold back innovation and entrepreneurship because I’ve faced them myself. It’s time we make California a state where businesses thrive, not struggle to survive.

I’m also passionate about reforming education, supporting parents’ rights and expanding vocational programs that prepare students for real-world success.

I believe in holding corrupt politicians accountable through the Fair Political Practices Commission and promoting fiscal accountability across the board. We cannot afford to keep growing our government while ignoring the needs of our community. We must invest in mental health services, protect our small businesses and ensure every child has access to a quality education grounded in fundamental subjects.

I am running for state ­Assembly to fight for you – your family, your business and your future. I will represent our district with fairness, transparency and a strong work ethic, ensuring that your voice is heard and respected.

My journey, shaped by the values of hard work and integrity instilled in me by my immigrant parents from Nicaragua and Cuba, has prepared me for this moment. Together, we can build a brighter future for California, one that works for everyone, not just the powerful few.

I’m Sonia Ledo, and I’m asking for your vote so that I can represent you in the state Assembly. Let’s get to work.
