Chino, Calif. /California Newswire/ — State Senator Gloria Negrete McLeod announced her campaign for Congress today. Senator Negrete McLeod will run in the newly created 35th Congressional District, which includes the cities of Pomona, Montclair, Ontario, Chino, unincorporated Bloomington, and portions of Fontana and Rialto.
“I have been honored to represent this district for over 16 years as a locally elected leader,” Senator Negrete McLeod said. “I look forward to taking my brand of independent and common sense leadership to Washington, DC.
