Jose Solorio, the humble son of migrant farm workers, is the California State Assembly's representative from Central Orange County, including the cities of Anaheim, Garden Grove and Santa Ana. His election in November 2006 and re-election in 2008 is the culmination of a lifetime of overcoming odds and striving to achieve.

Solorio’s passionate efforts to increase opportunities for all Californians spring forth from an inspiring personal story. Solorio was determined to improve his family's standard of living and viewed education as the key to his future. He is an alumnus of the University of California at Irvine, where he served as student body president, and the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.

Solorio left a successful career in the private sector to dedicate himself to public service. He was elected to the Santa Ana City Council in 2000 and re-elected in 2004. During that time, he also worked for the Orange County Transportation Authority and served on the Orange County Water District. He was elected to the State Assembly in November 2006.
Solorio is interested in using his experience in education, government, and business to help all Californians realize their hopes and dreams. Often asked why he dedicates so much time and effort in the community, Solorio recites one of Cesar Chavez's famous quotes: "The end of all education should surely be service to others."

Now into his second legislative session as a California elected official, Assemblyman Solorio will continue to provide leadership on pressing matters in his district: improving schools, creating jobs, preventing gang violence, enhancing our transportation infrastructure and ensuring that water continues to flow.
