Gloria Negrete McLeod

Serving her first term, Congresswoman Negrete McLeod is proud to represent California’s 35th District. The 35th District stretches over two counties encompassing the cities of Chino, Montclair, Ontario, portions of Fontana and Rialto, the unincorporated community of Bloomington in San Bernardino County; and the entire City of Pomona in Los Angeles County.

Congresswoman Negrete McLeod is a member of the historic Committee on Agriculture. The Committee has jurisdiction over agriculture, forestry, nutrition, water conservation, bio-terrorism, and other agriculture-related fields. In addition, the Committee is responsible for oversight of the Department of Agriculture. She is also a member of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs. This Committee reviews veterans' programs, examines current laws, and reports bills and amendments to strengthen existing laws concerning veterans.

With almost two decades as a locally-elected leader, Gloria has worked to ensure the affordability and access to higher education, enhance the quality of healthcare, improve California’s current transportation system to promote efficient goods movement while reducing traffic congestion and has promoted the growth of quality employment opportunities for residents of the Inland Empire and all of California.

Gloria and her husband Gilbert L. McLeod, a retired police lieutenant, have lived in the district for more than 43 years, raising 10 children, 27 grandchildren, and 25 great grandchildren.
