Bio

Jeff Gonzalez, 51, is a retired Marine, pastor and business owner. He surprised political insiders when he won his Assembly seat, long thought to be safely Democratic, after it was vacated by departing Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia. Gonzalez served 21 years in the Marine Corps and was deployed to combat zones four times. Gonzalez is a “global security and operations” consultant who says he became a pastor after seeing so many of his fellow Marines become suicidal after their deployments. He and his wife have four children, one of whom has cerebral palsy.
