For more than a decade, Ricardo Lara has worked tirelessly in the Assembly to improve the lives of working families. This work ethic was taught to him by his parents, Venustiano and Dolores Lara, Mexican immigrants who came to California seeking a better life.
As Chief of Staff to Majority Leader Marco Antonio Firebaugh, 50th Assembly District, Ricardo spearheaded several bills that became law, including the landmark AB 540, making college education more affordable for immigrant students.
