Public service is core to the University of California’s mission, so we’re proud to highlight the many UC alums who have been elected to public office.
They come from around the state and across the country, representing millions of people and a huge diversity of communities, concerns and priorities. But they share a common connection to the nation’s largest public university, which was founded on a bold idea: People from all walks of life should have access to a world-class education and be engaged in civic life.
More than 66 UC alumni currently serve in the U.S. Congress and the California State Legislature — some of whom are taking their seats in Sacramento and Washington, D.C., for the first time this year.
