Hon. Rob Bonta
Attorney General, State of California

Rob Bonta serves as California’s Attorney General, the first person of Filipino descent and second Asian-American to occupy the office.

Born in Quezon City, Philippines, Bonta immigrated to California with his family as an infant. His passion for justice and fairness was instilled in him by his parents, who served on the frontlines of some of America's most important social justice movements. The lessons his parents learned from their work with United Farm Workers and the civil rights movement inspired Bonta to fight against injustice.

Bonta decided to become a lawyer to help right historic wrongs and fight for people who have been harmed. He worked his way through college and graduated with honors from Yale University, then went on to attend Yale Law School.

Bonta began his legal career as a deputy city attorney for the City and County of San Francisco, where he represented city and county employees and fought to protect Californians from exploitation and racial profiling.

In 2012, Bonta was elected to represent the 18th District in the California State Assembly, where he served until becoming attorney general in 2021. In the assembly, Bonta enacted nation-leading reforms to inject more justice and fairness into government and institutions. He is known for advancing systemic change, pursuing corporate accountability, standing up for workers, punishing big polluters, and fighting racial injustice.

Bonta has been a national leader in the fight to transform the criminal justice system, banning private prisons and detention facilities in California, as well as pushing to eliminate cash bail in the state. He has led statewide fights for racial, economic, and environmental justice, and worked to further the rights of immigrant families, renters, and working Californians.

Bonta and his wife Mia are the proud parents of three children, Reina, Iliana, and Andres – as well as their dog, Legolas.
