Sabrina Cervantes is an American politician serving as a member of the California State Assembly. A Democrat, she represents the 60th Assembly District, which encompasses the northwestern Riverside County communities of Corona, Eastvale, Jurupa Valley, Norco, and parts of the City of Riverside.
As Chair of the State Assembly’s Committee on Jobs and Economic Development, Sabrina Cervantes is helping lead our economic recovery and working with local small businesses to create new jobs. In her first six years in the Assembly, she has proven herself to be a responsive and effective advocate for local small businesses.
As our Assemblymember, Sabrina is working to:
-Support local small businesses, encourage the creation of well-paying, local jobs in the Inland Empire, and promote entrepreneurism.
-Invest in clean energy technology in order to create good-paying green jobs.
-Expand access to college and job-training programs to ensure our workforce can meet the demands of our changing economy.
Sabrina Cervantes is strongly supported by local teachers because she is fighting to fully fund our system of public education and ensure our local school districts are receiving their fair share of education dollars. She has also fought to fully fund the University of California, California State University, and community college systems in order to provide our students with more affordable and accessible opportunities to achieve their dreams of higher education.
Sabrina Cervantes knows that nothing is more important than keeping our families and neighborhoods safe. That is why she is working with local first responders to ensure that they have the tools and training needed to keep us safe, and provide fast emergency response times.
Sabrina also believes that everyone should feel safe in our homes, schools, and churches, free from fear of gun violence. She has a record of standing up to the National Rifle Association (NRA) and fighting for common-sense gun safety laws, like a new law she authored that keeps guns out of the hands of abusers with out-of-state restraining orders.
Sabrina will keep fighting for new investments in mental healthcare infrastructure to reduce homelessness, and working to make it easier to build needed housing in California so that more working families are able to have a roof over their heads.
Sabrina Cervantes will fight to defend access essential healthcare, including the right to an abortion and contraception. After Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court of the United States, she took immediate action in the Assembly to help protect reproductive freedoms for women and birthing people in California. That is why Sabrina is endorsed by Planned Parenthood Action Fund of the Pacific Southwest and NARAL Pro-Choice California.

In this role, she works with leaders from both sides of the aisle to expand access to college and job-training programs for California veterans. Sabrina comes from a family with a long tradition of military service, which dates back to World War II.*
Sabrina Cervantes understands that Inland Empire commuters are losing too much time each day sitting in traffic. That is why she fought to secure over $427 million in new funding for major transportation projects in our region that will reduce traffic and make our roads, bridges, and freeways safer.
