“BOLD PAC is proud to endorse Luz Rivas in CA-29. Luz has devoted herself to creating opportunities for Latino families. She has helped countless young Latinas pursue careers in technology.

ABOUT LUZ RIVAS

Luz Rivas has dedicated her professional career towards fighting to ensure that every Californian has the opportunity to learn, prosper, and succeed. 


Elected to the State Assembly in 2018, Rivas served as Chair of the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources and currently serves on the Assembly Committees on Budget, Revenue, and Taxation, and Communications and Conveyance. She has written and passed legislation to help protect workers from extreme heat, provide services for homeless youth, and prevent plastic pollution. She brought $10 million to create a Regional STEM Institute at Los Angeles Mission College.


Prior to her service in the Assembly, Rivas founded DIY (Do it Yourself) Girls, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping girls in the San Fernando Valley become interested in math and science. The organization has helped set thousands of young women on the path towards economic empowerment, independence, and self-confidence. 


Luz was raised in the San Fernando Valley by a single mother who cleaned bathrooms at a local hospital. Initially, the family rented a room in a house, and later lived in a converted garage and back houses throughout the Valley. 


As a 5th grader, Luz became interested in technology and engineering. She enrolled in a state program that helped students excel in math and science and go on to college in these fields. Luz ultimately graduated from MIT with a degree in Electrical Engineering, and then received a Masters of Education from Harvard University.

As a longtime Member of the Natural Resources Committee, Raúl fought to protect our environment, public lands, and Indigenous communities, ensuring future generations could enjoy and benefit from them. His absence will be deeply felt in Congress and across our BOLD familia. Raúl was more than a public servant; he was a mentor, a proud Latino leader, and a champion for those who needed him most. My thoughts are with his family, his constituents, and all who worked alongside him. May he rest in peace." ### CHC BOLD PAC , the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

TRUMP’S FIRST MONTH HAS ONLY MADE LIFE MORE EXPENSIVE FOR AMERICANS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 05, 2025 Contact: Karla Rodriguez Karla@chcboldpac.com TRUMP’S FIRST MONTH HAS ONLY MADE LIFE MORE EXPENSIVE FOR AMERICANS WASHINGTON, D.C. – As President Trump delivered his first speech to a Joint Session of Congress, one fact is clear: his first month in office has done nothing to bring down costs for working families — in fact, he’s hurting their pocketbooks. Instead of fighting to lower prices at the grocery store, reduce the cost of prescription drugs, or lower the costs of housing, Trump has spent his time: Ignoring the spike in egg prices, with the national average hitting $5 in his first month back. Eggs shouldn’t be a luxury. Pressuring Republicans to pass a budget resolution that would cut $2 billion in federal Medicaid funds from each congressional district, gutting health care for 15.9 million Americans . Rolling back an executive order from the Biden administration to lower prescription drug prices to $2. Admitting—twice —that lowering costs and making life more affordable is not his top priority . “Donald Trump promised to help working Americans, but his first month back in the White House has been a disaster for their wallets,” said Chairwoman Linda Sánchez . “He’s proving once again that he’s only looking out for himself while Latino families foot the bill. BOLD PAC remains committed to electing leaders who will put working families first. We won’t let Trump’s disastrous policies go unchecked.” CHC BOLD PAC CHC BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by helping more Latinos get elected.
