COUNCILMEMBER MARK PULIDO ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR ASSEMBLY
Early Endorsements from 150+ Elected, Appointed & Community Leaders Across CA-67, California & USA
Today Mark Pulido announces his candidacy for the 67th Assembly District currently represented by Assemblymember Sharon Quirk-Silva.
Now in his twentieth year in elective public office, Mark Pulido is currently a Cerritos Councilmember, former two-time Mayor, and former ABC Unified School District Board President. He was the top vote-getter in all of his five at-large elections. Cerritos and the ABC Unified School District make up more than one-fifth of the 67th district, and holds the majority of the base of the Democratic registration and voters.
“Mark Pulido is the best candidate for Assembly in the 67th. His deep roots in the community, long record of accomplishment improving schools, building housing and businesses, improving our infrastructure, and keeping neighborhoods safe is exactly what California and the communities of the 67th district need,” said Rep. Alan Lowenthal. “I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically support him.”
California Attorney General Rob Bonta stated, “We have serious issues facing our state and communities, which is why we need experienced, results oriented legislators like Mark Pulido in the Assembly. For more than 20 years, Mark has served the City of Cerritos. From School Board, to City Council, to twice serving as Mayor, Mark is an exemplary public servant who puts his constituents first. I was proud to be one of Mark's first endorsers early on in his public service career, and I enthusiastically endorse him for Assembly District 67 now.”
Pulido’s record of accomplishment includes improving and upgrading local schools and parks, a reduction of 35% in residential crimes, the creation of jobs and income for the community, and significant investments in local infrastructure, including the repair of streets and sidewalks, and trimming of over 15,000 trees.
Pulido has been endorsed by the Democratic Party and AFL-CIO in every one of his previous elections. He has already earned the early endorsement of over 150 trailblazing elected, appointed and community leaders from the 67th District, California and across the nation.
Mark Pulido lives in Cerritos with his wife Gloria and two children. He grew up in the city and is a 53-year resident of the district. The son and grandson of U.S. Navy and Army Veterans, and local small business owners, he graduated from local schools, then attended UCLA where he was elected Student Body President and editor of Pacific Ties, the nation’s oldest collegiate Asian Pacific newsmagazine. He earned his Master’s Degree in Public Policy at the University of Chicago and then returned to Cerritos to raise his family.
