Sonia Ledo, a resident of Concord, has announced her candidacy for the California State Assembly. Sonia aims to bring an improved quality of life for all residents of District 15.
“I’m excited to take this important step in seeking to represent much of Contra Costa County in the California State Assembly,” said Ledo. “I believe my professional and personal experiences give me a unique understanding of the needs of the district and the challenges we face. I will work to develop common sense solutions to improve the quality of life for not only Contra Costa residents, but all Californians.”
Through her professional experience in mortgage lending and real estate, Ledo has helped many first-time-buyers purchase their dream homes utilizing various down payment assistance programs. Personally, Ledo has raised four sons in the public education system in Contra Costa, including autistic twins who require special needs assistance.
Ledo has also volunteered locally over the years by coaching challenger baseball, sorting food at the Food Bank, feeding the needy on Christmas morning, and directly assisting families through personal donations. Ledo served as Treasurer for the Women’s Council of Realtors Contra Costa and is also a longtime member of the One Hundred Club Organization that supports families of fallen firefighters and police officers.
This blend of professional and personal experience has given Ledo a deep understanding of the challenges faced in our communities by small businesses, families, seniors, disabled, people in crisis, and those with special needs.
If elected to the State Assembly, Ledo promises to work hard to bring fairness, transparency, and a strong work ethic to Sacramento. Her priorities would include public safety, education, improved mental health services, increasing housing supply, and serving as a good steward of taxpayer money when faced with tough decisions regarding the looming state budget deficit of $68 billion.
Regarding housing, Ledo emphasizes that “Building more housing alone won’t solve the issues of housing affordability. The underlying reasons for the high cost of housing must be addressed. We also need to better serve individuals with disabilities, mental health issues, and homelessness as a collaborative state effort.”
The seat being vacated by Assemblymember Tim Grayson includes all or parts of Antioch, Brentwood, Clayton, Concord, Martinez, Pittsburg, Pleasant Hill, and other unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County.
Sonia Ledo, a Republican, is looking forward to the March 5th primary election sand will be ready on day one to begin with a strong commitment to working with all bay area and California elected leaders for the well-being of our communities, region, and state.

This person belongs nowhere near public office. She views people who are not homeowners as menacing. She has repeatedly demonstrated in public forums her blatant disregard for renters and the unsheltered, often implying that it is the poor who are to blame for the growing housing problem. We need people in Sacramento who represent us all, not just the elites. Hard pass!
Hard Pass on Monica Wilson from Antioch City Council who also has done nothing for homeless, mentally ill homeless and public safety except defunding APD.
