Meet Sabrina
Sabrina Cervantes is a working mother of triplets running to represent the 31st State Senate District. A Democrat, she currently represents the 58th Assembly District, which comprises portions of the Inland Empire. Sabrina was first elected to the State Legislature in 2016, and from 2022-2024, served as Chair of the California Latino Legislative Caucus. She is also the first openly LGBTQ+ Latina to represent Western Riverside County in the Legislature.
Over the course of her first eight years in the State Legislature, Sabrina has authored 49 bills that have been signed into law, including important legislation to keep our communities safe and help local veterans, seniors, small businesses, and schools. She has brought home more than $650 million in state funding for Inland Empire infrastructure to reduce local traffic, expand the medical school at UC Riverside, and build new parks and green spaces. As the Chair of the State Assembly’s Committee on Jobs, Economic Development, and the Economy, she secured funding to open a new trade school in Jurupa Valley for in-demand job skills, one of only two such trade schools in Southern California.
Sabrina is a lifelong Riverside County resident who worked in the private sector, state government, and for a statewide nonprofit organization prior to her election to the State Legislature. She earned her bachelor’s degree in political science with a minor in public policy from the University of California, Riverside, and she completed an executive education program at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. Sabrina and her wife, Courtney, are the proud parents of triplets.
A dozen members of Sabrina’s family served in World War II, including Sabrina’s grandfather, Gregorio Cervantes. Her great-uncle Joe landed on Omaha Beach, her great-uncle David fought to liberate both France and Italy, and her great-uncle Sam served in the Pacific Theater.*
