Meet Sara Deen

A Leader Who Delivers

As School Board President and a SoCal ROC Board Member, Sara is making sure taxpayer dollars go where they matter most - to improve the lives of South Bay residents.

During her time in elected office, Sara has:

• Delivered a balanced school district budget every year
• Expanded college and career pathways
• Led the fight to fund critical school repairs and pushed to improve emergency response and public safety
• Improved student outcomes, in terms of both achievement and student well-being.

A Healthcare Small Business Owner

As co-owner of a small urgent care clinic in Torrance, Sara has seen firsthand where our healthcare system falls short — patients denied treatment, rising costs, and coverage that doesn’t keep pace with people’s needs. That experience drives her commitment to make healthcare more affordable, accessible, and accountable to patients, not insurers’ bottom lines.

She also knows the challenges of building a small business from the ground up. Opening her urgent care clinic meant navigating complex permitting processes, heavy administrative burdens, and rising costs — the same hurdles so many local business owners face. That firsthand experience will guide her work in the Assembly to cut red tape, streamline regulations, and help small businesses grow and create jobs across the South Bay.

A Proven Leader who puts the South Bay First

Sara’s experience in education, healthcare, and small business — which together make up the majority of our state budget — gives her a clear understanding of what South Bay families care about most.

That’s why she’s running for Assembly: to bring real accountability, smart management, and a results-driven approach to Sacramento, so we can finally get things done for the South Bay.

Sara is supported by nurses, teachers, healthcare and education workers because she will work to lower everyday costs, expand access to quality, affordable healthcare, and make it easier for families to live and retire in the communities they love. She’ll also work to better prepare students for tomorrow’s jobs and industries, so young people have true pathways toward prosperity — whether that’s a four-year degree, a technical career, or a trade.
