[1]Alex Padilla for Senate
Alex Padilla is the son of immigrants from Mexico. He was born and raised in the proud working class community of Pacoima, California, in the San Fernando Valley.
He worked hard and dedicated himself to books and baseball, graduating from San Fernando High School before heading to MIT, where he earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
After graduating he moved back home and got to work, first as a member of the Los Angeles City Council, and then in the State Senate before being elected California’s Secretary of State.
As Secretary of State (and therefore California’s chief elections officer) Alex worked hard to make CA’s elections among the most accessible, inclusive, and secure in the country.
And when Kamala Harris became Vice President, Governor Newsom appointed Alex to take her seat — the first Latino to ever represent California in the U.S. Senate.
In 2022, thanks to the support of Californians like you, he was elected to a full six-year term in the Senate.
Now, Alex is working hard every day in the Senate to protect our democracy and ensure that ALL of us have a shot at the American Dream.
So when he found last month that the Secretary of Homeland Security was holding a press conference in the same building as his Los Angeles office, he went to get some answers on this administration’s mass deportation agenda. He was tackled to the ground and handcuffed.
Now, Alex is keeping up the fight in the Senate — pressing the Trump administration for answers as well as introducing legislation like the VISIBLE Act to ban ICE from wearing masks to hide their identities.
But this isn’t about one politician or one incident. It’s not just about immigrant communities or about California. It’s about every American who values their constitutional rights.
And the reality is that Alex cannot take on the Trump administration by himself. Nobody can. So we are asking:
Can you please make a contribution today to stand with Alex and join the fight against Trump and MAGA’s extremism?
Pushing back against the Trump administration’s corruption and cruelty is going to take relentless effort, every day.
Thank you for doing what you can.
Team Alex Padilla
