For voters in Palmdale, Lake Los Angeles, Adelanto and Victorville, Juan Carrillo is the former Palmdale City Council member who now represents the 39th district in the California State Assembly. A Democrat, he came to the Assembly by way of local office and a two-stage election in 2022. Carrillo was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, and emigrated to the United States at fifteen. His education took him through Garfield High School, College of the Desert and California State Polytechnic University. He won the Assembly seat with 56% of the vote and took office on December 5, 2022.
ROOTS
Carrillo was born in Guadalajara and emigrated to the United States at age fifteen. He attended Garfield High School before attending College of the Desert and California State Polytechnic University.
It is a concise personal history: one birthplace, a move during his teenage years and three educational institutions. No degree, field of study or dates of attendance are identified.
FIRST OFFICE
Before his election to the Legislature, Carrillo served on the Palmdale City Council.
The particulars of his council tenure — when he joined the body, which district or constituency he represented, and the measures or disputes that defined his service — are not specified. Nor is a professional career outside government identified.
THE 2022 RACE
Carrillo entered the contest for the 39th Assembly District in 2022. In the non-partisan primary election in June 2022, he defeated former State Assemblymember Steve Fox and Andrew Rosenthal.
The general election followed in November. Carrillo faced Paul Marsh and won with 56% of the vote. That result gave him the seat previously held by Luz Rivas.
The sequence matters to the outline of his political career. Carrillo moved from the Palmdale City Council into a primary field that included a former Assembly member, prevailed there, and then secured a majority against Marsh in November. He assumed office on December 5, 2022.
THE DISTRICT
Carrillo serves as a Democratic member of the California State Assembly for the 39th district. The district includes Palmdale, Lake Los Angeles, Adelanto and Victorville.
His prior office placed him inside municipal government in Palmdale; his Assembly constituency extends beyond that city to the other named communities in the district. The move changed both the level and the reach of his public responsibilities: from membership on one city council to representation of a district containing four identified communities.
The documented account does not identify committee assignments, leadership posts or appointments in the Assembly. It also does not name any legislative alliances or organizations tied to his work. Carrillo’s established public-office history is consequently straightforward: Palmdale City Council member, candidate for the 39th district in 2022, general-election winner and Assembly member succeeding Rivas.
THE POLICY SIGNATURE
No particular bill, budget provision, vote, cause or legislative result is identified with Carrillo in the available account. It would therefore go beyond the facts to assign him a policy specialty or to describe him as the advocate of a particular organized interest.
What can be said is narrower and institutional. Carrillo is known here for the move from Palmdale municipal office to the Assembly seat serving Palmdale, Lake Los Angeles, Adelanto and Victorville. The constituency established by his office is the electorate of the 39th district; no narrower group or interest is documented. His defined record is electoral rather than legislative: service on the Palmdale City Council, victory over Fox and Rosenthal in the 2022 primary, a 56% general-election win over Marsh, and succession to Rivas in the Assembly.
