Cecelia González

Cecelia González is a Las Vegas native and the daughter of two hard-working immigrant parents. They taught her the values of hard work, persistence, and giving back to the community. Growing up with limited resources in an immigrant family was instrumental in shaping her passion for fighting for social, environmental, and economic justice.

Cecelia has dedicated her life to being a public servant for over a decade. She is a Nevada educator, a local community activist, and an organizer. She has organized around interpersonal violence, women’s health, criminal justice reform, education, raising the minimum wage, and many other important issues. Cecelia has received both academic and community awards for her volunteer work and activism.

Her dedication to public service, education, and reforming the criminal justice system has led her to run for Assembly District 16.
