THE 2025 CLAIM
In May 2025, the Sacramento Police Department cited Cervantes on suspicion of driving under the influence after her car was t-boned by another vehicle. The District Attorney did not pursue charges after laboratory tests showed no measurable presence of drugs or alcohol.
On September 8, 2025, Cervantes filed a claim against the Sacramento Police Department. She accused the department of retaliating against her for sponsoring a bill it did not support and for being LGBTQ and Latina. According to Cervantes, the white woman who hit her was treated differently. Her claim concerned the department’s handling of the incident and an alleged connection to her legislative work.
THE POLICY SIGNATURE

She chaired the Assembly Committee on Jobs, Economic Development, and the Economy and the Assembly Select Committee on Veteran Employment and Education.

Her private-sector work alongside community organizations sought to enhance the local economy, broaden access to quality education and improve access to governmental services.
