ENDORSEMENT: Blanca Pacheco's track record speaks for itself. She needs to be re-elected.

Blanca Pacheco has been a dedicated public servant for Downey and the surrounding communities for many years. Her deep understanding of our local needs, coupled with her hands-on leadership experience as a former Downey mayor and council member, makes her the right choice for re-election to the California State Assembly.

Blanca’s track record in Downey speaks for itself. Whether tackling homelessness, supporting small businesses, or pushing for smart infrastructure projects, she has always demonstrated a commitment to pragmatic solutions. She understands that effective governance requires collaboration, not just on the state level but between local governments, which is why her experience as both a mayor and councilmember has proven invaluable. Blanca knows what it means to balance budgets, navigate local concerns, and listen to constituents on the ground. She brings that same energy and attention to detail to her role in the Assembly, ensuring that Downey’s voice is always heard in Sacramento.

The Downey Patriot believes that re-electing Blanca Pacheco will ensure that our district continues to have a strong and informed advocate in the California State Assembly.
