RCDP Endorses Clarissa Cervantes: for Assembly District 58
Leticia Castillo Wants To Protect Her Faith;
Clarissa Cervantes Wants To Protect You
Riverside, CA – The Riverside County Democratic Party is proud to endorse Clarissa Cervantes for California’s 58th Assembly District. Cervantes is a mother, businesswoman, and Riverside City Councilmember. She has approved millions of dollars in road repairs, expanded access to affordable housing, and strengthened protections of open spaces across Riverside.
Cervantes’s leadership goes beyond city projects. She is a lifelong advocate for working families, affordable healthcare, and housing reform. As a renter and a working mom, Cervantes understands the struggles faced by everyday Californians. She consistently stands up to special interests and she is committed to bringing down the cost of living.
On the City Council, Cervantes fought to protect neighborhoods from the unchecked expansion of warehouses, ensuring that corporate interests did not overshadow the well-being of residents. She’s also been a strong supporter of small businesses, helping them weather economic downturns.
Her opponent, Leticia Castillo, is starkly opposed to the values of AD58’s residents. Castillo has been endorsed by far-right organizations that oppose LGBTQ+ rights. Rather than protecting AD58’s environment, Castillo opposed state environmental protections and housing initiatives. Rather than fighting for common-sense gun control measures, Castillo was endorsed by the California Rifle and Pistol Association and Redlands Tea Party Patriots. These positions are out of touch with the needs of our diverse and growing district.
Clarissa Cervantes is the leader who will continue to fight for all residents of AD58. Her commitment to investing in communities, protecting the environment, and ensuring economic opportunity for all makes her the clear choice this November. The Riverside County Democratic Party proudly endorses Clarissa Cervantes.
