Over the past 4 years, Senate District 35 has faced numerous challenges, particularly during the COVID pandemic. However, we are currently at a crucial juncture of economic development and financial prosperity, as we gear up for two significant global events in our district: the FIFA Soccer World Cup in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028. We must unite with a clear vision to drive progress in our district fairly and inclusively that benefits all communities.
For more than two decades, Mr. Alex Monteiro has resided in Senate District 35, where he has focused on invigorating and strengthening our community through many varying pursuits and endeavors. His journey started in 1994 when he arrived in California and started his career at a Federal Qualified Health Center in Los Angeles.

Mostly those orbiting education and healthcare. He is a local with his ear to the ground and his pulse on the needs of his community. His understanding of directorships of child-care programs, youth mentoring/counseling, not to mention being an instructor for business and economic development make him a unique leader. He is a man of action founding several nonprofit organizations committed to social change. Many governed through advocacy of homeownership, low-income housing, and universal preschool in our communities. These endeavors of social change have not only been overseen but cultivated and nurtured by Mr. Monteiro. He has left his thumbprint on the community before his tenure politics and plans on growing his reach and impact.

career.
He views his call to human service not only as a strength but as a necessity vital to representing the diverse needs of the city’s residents. The ability to succeed in many industries and collaborate with various professionals and personalities has given Mr. Monteiro a unique skillset. These acquired skills make him a powerhouse.
