About Manuel Perez

I was born in Indio and raised in Coachella and Imperial County. My parents met working in the fields and taught me that hard work and a good education
pave the path to success.

I worked hard, attended public schools, continued to UC Riverside, came home to teach, then earned a Master’s in Education from Harvard University.

My wife Gladis and I are raising our boys in Coachella, and they attend the same schools that I attended as a boy.

I have been working hard for the hard working families in our area.

As a Member of the School Board I shepherded $250 million in bonds that created good jobs in the Valley and built new state of the art schools and classrooms for our children.

In my role as Director of Community Health, I have worked tirelessly to provide healthcare for children, to ensure that seniors get the medicine they need and that everyone has access to medical care.

But the residents of our area still face many struggles. Healthcare costs continue to rise, schools continue to struggle, more good paying jobs with benefits are needed, and the environment needs protecting.

I’m running for the State Assembly, guided by the values of my parents, to work as hard as I can for you. As your Assemblymember I’ll roll up my sleeves, put my head down and focus on fixing the problems for our area – problems that others have neglected: education, healthcare, jobs and the environment.

I am asking for your support. Please mark your calendar and take time out of your busy day on November 4th to vote for me, Manuel Perez, for State Assembly. And I promise, I will work every single day for you.
