Bob J. Archuleta

Why Thrive LA endorses Bob

Bob J. Archuleta is a U.S. Army veteran who served as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division, a former reserve police officer with the Montebello Police Department, and a longtime public servant who rose from the Pico Rivera City Council (where he served as Mayor) to the California State Senate. He has represented the 30th Senate District, covering parts of Los Angeles and Orange counties, since 2018. He currently chairs the Senate Committee on Military and Veterans Affairs. Archuleta has helped secure over $100 million in state funding for local infrastructure projects across his district. He earned endorsements from the Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs (ALADS) and received support from the Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL), two of the most important law enforcement organizations in the region. He authored the Agent Joshua Byrd Memorial Act (SB 962) to authorize blue emergency response lights for parole officers, a practical public safety measure that reflects his instincts on the issue. Bob Archuleta is the practical, public-safety-minded senator the 30th District needs.
