MIGUEL SANTIAGO
Assemblymember, District #53 - State of California
Miguel Santiago was elected in November 2014 to represent California's 53rd Assembly District, which includes downtown Los Angeles, Koreatown, Mid-Wilshire, Boyle Heights, Pico Union, MacArthur Park, Westlake, Little Tokyo and the cities of Huntington Park and Vernon.
Prior to being elected to the State Assembly, Santiago served as District Director for former Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez. In that capacity he worked with residents in every neighborhood in the district to assist them in solving problems with state government.
In 2008, Santiago was appointed to the Los Angeles Community College Board, then elected in 2009 and re-elected in 2011. He was elected to serve as President of the Board in 2011. Along with his colleagues, he led the effort to pass Measure J, a $3.5 billion bond aimed at building and renovating the district's nine colleges. Under Santiago's leadership, the campuses located within the districtLos Angeles Trade Tech, Los Angeles City College and East Los Angeles Community Collegeexpanded, repaired and modernized facilities for training in professional careers such as nursing, health care, business, arts and entertainment, criminal justice, architecture and in the "green" workforce sector.
While serving on the College Board, Santiago played a key role in auditing the bond expenditures, forming the Office of the Inspector General and the whistle-blower programs. During his time on the board, the district has overhauled the employee healthcare coverage resulted in a savings for the district's operating budget. As a direct result, the district avoided furloughs and layoffs during unprecedented funding cuts to public education.
Santiago was born to immigrant parents and was the first in his family to graduate from college. He earned a degree in History from the University of California, Los Angeles. He, his wife and their son live in downtown Los Angeles.
