Speaker:

Senator Anna M. Caballero (SD-14) has authored key pieces of legislation like the Middle Class Housing Act (SB 6), to help families achieve the dream of home ownership, legislation that ensures locally grown, quality produce for California students (SB 490), and the Distressed Hospital Loan Program (SB/AB 112), to keep struggling hospitals from closing their doors. Senator Caballero is also the proud author of comprehensive legislation to combat climate change and extreme heat (SB 306) and the capture, removal storage and utilization of carbon (SB 905). Her strong advocacy of reproductive rights led to the creation of a support fund (SB 1142), to expand access to care during this particularly critical time in history. In 2023 Senator Caballero was instrumental in securing over half a billion dollars in direct funding to support veterans, flood victims, institutions for higher education, agricultural modernization and district-specific infrastructure projects.

Prior to her election to the State Senate, Caballero was the first female Mayor elected in the 126-year history of the City of Salinas and the first Latina elected to represent the 28th Assembly District in 2006. In 2011, Governor Edmund G. Brown hired Senator Caballero to serve as a member of his cabinet as the Secretary of the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency. While in the Assembly, she received numerous awards for her work in youth violence prevention, protection of local government, support for public school construction, and water reliability and sustainability. Prior to her election to the Assembly, Caballero established a non-profit organization, Partners for Peace, dedicated to youth violence prevention. Devoted to representing working families at a price they could afford, Caballero and two colleagues formed the law firm of Caballero, Matcham and McCarthy, opening offices in Salinas and Hollister after graduating from UCLA law school and UC San Diego.
