“Gil Cisneros is an exemplary individual that represents the best of Build Our Leadership Diversity (BOLD) PAC’s values. Gil is all about service: from his decade serving in our Navy, to his educational foundation supporting San Gabriel Valley students, to fighting for working families in Washington, Gil is exactly the kind of servant leader that we need back in Congress.

“Gil Cisneros has been an incredible ally to the AANHPI community. When he previously served in Congress, he prioritized his AANHPI constituents through in-language outreach, hiring AANHPI staff from the community, and fighting for their priorities in Washington, like gun safety reform, resources for Asian American-owned small businesses, and protecting reproductive rights. We can trust Gil as an advocate for all Asian Americans in the San Gabriel Valley, and ASPIRE is excited to endorse his campaign.”

Los Angeles County Supervisor
I’ve represented the San Gabriel Valley in the House of Representatives and currently on the Board of Supervisors — and I was born and raised here. I strongly endorse Gil Cisneros to represent the 31st Congressional District, because as a public servant he has consistently demonstrated his commitment to the people in our community, both as a Congressmember and as Under Secretary of Defense. He deeply understands the challenges faced by our communities and has dedicated his life to advocating for women’s rights, DREAMers, education access, and veterans. I support #GilontheHill because he has never compromised his values and his commitment to standing up for our working-class families over special interests.

“Gil Cisneros is an outstanding public servant and leader. In Congress, we worked together to pass critical legislation to protect a woman’s right to choose, protect our environment, and end gun violence. As Under Secretary of Defense, Gil put our service members and their families first. He led the effort in the Biden administration to stop sexual assault in the military, protect reproductive healthcare, and uplift LGBTQ+ service members. Gil is a shining example of an elected official that fights for people, not corporate special interests. I am proud to endorse him and I look forward to serving with him again. Let’s get Gil on the Hill!”

“Throughout the 14 years I have known Gil Cisneros, it has been clear that his life has been about service to others–proudly serving our nation in uniform, charitably giving toward Latino youth and education, serving in Congress, and serving under President Biden as the Under Secretary of Defense. I know he will continue the work we have done for the San Gabriel Valley and put first the critical needs of all residents, from improving public health and the mental well-being of our constituents and ensuring our military families and veterans receive the benefits they have earned, to improving the daily commute of workers and students, and protecting our environment, including the San Gabriel Mountains and our rivers, streams, and water supply. I am honored to endorse Gil to continue his service as our next representative for the 31st Congressional District.”

As Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, Gil served admirably, lowering costs for our troops, expanding health care access and increasing educational opportunities. I had the honor of serving with Gil In Congress and working with him during his time in the pentagon. He is the best.

Gil Cisneros understands what it means to govern. Rather than yell and scream, Gil rolls up his sleeves and is willing to work with anybody to get things done in Congress.
