Map of Senate District 14

Esmeralda Hurtado Will Work to Deliver:

• Cut red tape so Valley farmers, truckers, and small businesses can keep more of what they earn.

• Protect groundwater and fight for fair water allocations so our kids inherit a Valley that still feeds the world.

• Make housing attainable again for the teachers, nurses, farmworkers, and deputies who keep our communities running.

• Restore trust in government by staying focused on people—not personal battles.

My Vision for Central Valley Families

• Infrastructure Investments That Power Our Future

Our region has been overlooked for decades. It’s time to invest in the backbone of our economy and the safety of our neighborhoods. As your State Senator, I’ll champion:

• Modernizing roads, bridges, and transportation corridors to support local businesses and reduce commute times

• Expanding broadband access so every household, student, and small business stays connected

• Supporting clean and reliable water infrastructure to secure the Central Valley’s future

• Investing in flood control, air quality improvements, and climate-resilient infrastructure

Because the Central Valley deserves the same level of investment as every other region in California.

2. Affordable Housing & Stronger Communities

Every family deserves a safe and stable place to call home. As your State Senator, I’ll work to:

• Expand affordable housing options for working families, seniors, and young people

• Increase state support for cities building mixed-income neighborhoods

• Crack down on corporate landlords driving up rent and displacing local families

• Invest in community amenities—parks, public safety, libraries, senior services—that strengthen neighborhoods

A stronger Central Valley starts with stronger and more affordable communities.

3. Health Care That Reaches People Where They Are

Too many families still go without care because of distance, cost, or lack of access. As your State Senator, I’ll fight for:

• More clinics, mobile health services, and rural health investments

• Expanding access to mental health and addiction treatment

• Ensuring Medi-Cal provides real access—not just a card but actual care

• Strengthening partnerships with local hospitals and providers to reduce wait times

• Addressing environmental pollution that disproportionately impacts our children

Health care should feel like compassion, not a transaction.

4. Education That Opens Doors

Our students deserve more than the bare minimum. They deserve opportunity. As your State Senator, I’ll champion:

• Fully funding public schools so every child has access to quality teachers and safe, modern campuses

• Expanding career technical education, apprenticeships, and pathways to good-paying jobs

• Making college and trade programs more affordable and accessible

• Investing in early childhood education so every child has a strong start

• Supporting rural schools that have been historically underfunded

Education should open every door—and lead to brighter futures.
