My Top 3 Priorities
Parent Choice/School Choice: The current education system has failed our children. The parents deserve the choice to determine where to send their children to school.
Economic Prosperity: Covid-19 dealt a death blow to our economy. However, let’s be honest; many Southland families were struggling prior Covid-19. Local elected officials need to work together to attract new jobs, and industries to our region.
Immigration reform for induvial who contribute to our comminutes. The American dream should be available to those that give and scarifies for our country.
Experience
Biography
Escaping Civil War in El Salvador, seven-year-old Antonio immigrated with his family to Los Angeles, having to rebuild their lives after leaving behind the only home they ever knew and everything they had built in their home country. The first in his family to go to college, Antonio graduated from Cal State Los Angeles and would then go on to earn a law degree.
With only $500 dollars in his pocket, he started his own immigration law practice. His practice started with a cell phone and a table at the local Starbucks; today he has seven offices in California, Texas and Nevada. Antonio’s success is attributed to his principles and values. His philosophy of compassion and caring over profits, helped him form long-lasting relationships with those he serves. Antonio is now running for Congress to ensure his community is represented in Washington, DC. As a father, he also believes public service is important to bringing fundamental change to our country and community for his family and yours.

Political Beliefs
Political Philosophy
An independent businessman and father, Antonio believes Washington, DC is broken. Bogged down by party politics, many in Congress look to serve their own needs, not the needs of the Angelenos they are supposed to represent. It is time to reject self-serving politicians, regardless of party, and look to a representative that will stand up for us. Please join Antonio Delgado, and together we can make Los Angeles a better place for all of our families.
