About Pilar Schiavo
Assemblywoman Pilar Schiavo is a single mom, former small business owner, Nurse Advocate, and survivor who knows firsthand what it means to work hard, raise a family, and still worry about paying the bills. Elected in 2022, Pilar has made it her mission to stand up for families, small businesses, seniors, veterans, and the communities she calls home.
From day one, Pilar took our community’s priorities to Sacramento—and delivered. Pilar fought to lower costs and bring over $116 million back our community for public safety, housing, schools, healthcare, seniors, veterans, and small businesses. And she did it all without raising taxes.
