California State Senator Anna Caballero is featured in the Migrant Child Farmworkers to High-Profile Professionals© documentary.
Anna was born to a family of copper miners. She is a graduate of UCLA Law School with a career trajectory that is astoundingly impactful:.
In 1998, Senator Caballero made history as the first woman elected Mayor in the 126-year history of the City of Salinas. She went on to become the first Latina elected to represent the 28th Assembly District in 2006. In 2011, she was appointed by Governor Jerry Brown to serve as a member of his cabinet, where she oversaw 16,000 employees and a $27 billion budget—managing civil rights enforcement, consumer protections, building standards, pension funds and the licensing of over 3.4 million professionals statewide. Senator Caballero returned to the Legislature in 2016 and once again made history as the first Latina elected to represent California’s 12th Senate District. After redistricting, she now proudly serves the 14th Senate District and is currently in her second term. {Source: Senator Caballero’s website}
