Bob Jerry Archuleta (born June 1,1945) is an American politician serving in the California State Senate. He is a Democrat representing the 30th district,encompassing parts of southeastern Los Angeles County and Orange County. Prior to being elected to the state senate,he served on the Pico Rivera City Council.
Archuleta ran for the California state Senate in 2018 in both a special election to fill the seat left vacant by the resignation of incumbent Democrat Tony Mendoza,as well as the regularly scheduled election. Mendoza resigned to avoid a possible expulsion vote from the State Senate after being accused of years of sexual harassment of female former aides. [1] Although he had resigned the seat,Mendoza also ran in both elections. Archuleta lost the special election to Montebello Mayor Vanessa Delgado,but won the regularly scheduled election in a major upset,as Delgado had the support of much of the state Democratic Party's leadership. In 2022,Archuleta ran for reelection,in a district that has since been renumbered as the 30th district. He won the election with 61% of the vote.
Much of his work focuses on the military. He served as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division. He has been involved with the United States Military Academy at West Point,and the United States Army Advisory Board for Military Recruitment. As of July 2024,he chairs the Senate Committee on Military and Veterans Affairs. [2]
