Sasha Renée Pérez was the first in her family to earn a college degree from Cal State LA. She knows the doors that college access and career programs can open for working families and has spent her career ensuring students can achieve their college dreams. Pérez led a campaign to secure $97 million to expand college access for California students. Over the past decade, she has worked on education legislation to simplify the FAFSA application, increase financial aid awards for college students, and ensure high school students have access to college prep coursework.

As State Senator, Pérez will continue to build on these policies by working to ensure all Californians have the same access to educational opportunities and decrease the extreme financial burdens of obtaining a college degree. She is the only candidate in this race endorsed by students, educators, and school administrators.
