Sandra Jauregui has dedicated her life to improving the lives of Southern Nevadans. As a first-generation American, Jauregui watched her parents sacrifice and persevere to provide her with every opportunity to succeed. She now uses her position in the Nevada Assembly to provide those same opportunities for others.
“Meeting constituents and families from across the state and working to help improve their lives and our communities is really my favorite part of this job,” Jauregui said. She believes that conversation, compromise and working together will show the people of Nevada that the government can help solve problems.
Jauregui has been a staunch advocate for including marriage equality in the Nevada state constitution and helped lead the charge to repeal the 2002 ban on same-sex marriage. She has also dedicated herself to combating gun violence. After surviving the October 1 mass shooting, Jauregui helped to pass comprehensive gun safety legislation, including the enactment of red flag laws, child safe storage laws and universal background checks.
In addition to her love for the people of Nevada, Jauregui also loves the land itself. She spends her free time exploring state parks and hiking our beautiful landscapes.
