Supervisor Leticia Gonzalez was first elected to the Madera County Board of Supervisors to represent in the March 2020 general election for her first term. She is the third Latino supervisor and the first Latina to serve in Madera County Board of Supervisors history.
She is a strong voice for working families, small businesses, fair wages, as well as building an affordable and accessible quality of life for District 4 residents. As a former District Chief of Staff for former Supervisor Max Rodriguez, she understands the needs of District 4. Supervisor Gonzalez has always been passionate in helping out her community by being efficient and transparent. She is an advocate for public health, gender equity, veterans, a sustainable environment, and social justice.
District 4 is a special place for Supervisor Gonzalez. It is home to her family and friends. Since day one, Madera made her feel welcomed and adopted her as their own. For many of those that have worked closely with her, she is known as the “Daughter of the District.”
Prior to her time as a Supervisor, Gonzalez worked at Madera County Department of Social Services where she assisted the public with appropriate referrals to health, social and employment services. Additionally, she served as a Victims Advocate at Victim Services Center where she gained knowledge of the resource needs for mental health, trauma, homelessness, domestic violence, and more.
Supervisor Gonzalez is a life-long Madera County resident and a proud daughter of farm workers. She graduated with a B.A. in Criminal Justice and Sociology from California State University Stanislaus in 2003. In her downtime, she likes to cook, craft, as well as spend time with her dog Bruno, family and friends.
