About Pete
Pete Aguilar represents California’s 33rd Congressional District in San Bernardino County. Prior to being elected to Congress in 2014, Pete served as the Mayor of Redlands.
A fourth generation Inland Empire resident, Pete grew up in a working-class family in San Bernardino. His dad was a union worker for a local utility company and his first job was working with his grandfather bussing tables at the San Bernardino County Courthouse. He worked two jobs through college and graduated with the assistance of federal grants and student loans.
Now as the Chair of the House Democratic Caucus, Pete is giving his community a voice in Congressional Leadership. In Congress, Pete’s been leading the fight to lower costs, protect health care, and stop Donald Trump and House Republicans from cutting essential programs that Inland Empire seniors, veterans and students rely on.
Why I'm Running
Inland Empire families deserve a leader who will work across the aisle to deliver the results they deserve. As a fourth generation San Bernardino County resident, I understand the struggles of families throughout our community.
Members of the U.S. House of Representatives write and vote on federal laws, including the federal budget. Each represents one district and serves a two-year term. Tax bills must start in the House, only the House can impeach federal officials, and members oversee federal agencies through their committees.
