InfoAssemblymember James C. Ramos, a lifelong resident of the San Manuel Indian Reservation in San Bernardino County, is a member of the Serrano/Cahuilla tribe.

Ramos, the first California Native American to serve in the California State Assembly, was elected to represent residents of the 45th District on November 8, 2022. His district includes the communities of Fontana, Highland, Mentone, Muscoy, Redlands, Rialto, and San Bernardino.

As a child, he lived with his family in a mobile home in one of the most poverty-stricken areas in San Bernardino County. To help support his family while attending school, he worked in fast food restaurants and as a janitor in the San Bernardino City Unified School District. Ramos went to local public schools and graduated from San Gorgonio High School. He understood the importance of education. He received an Associate of Arts degree in Business at Victor Valley College, a Bachelor of Science in Business with a concentration in Accounting at California State University, San Bernardino, and a Master of Business Administration degree at the University of Redlands.

Ramos’ commitment to public service led to a number of firsts: first Native American appointed to the State Board of Education; first Indian to serve on the San Bernardino Community College Board of Trustees; first Native American elected to the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors and later first Native American board chair.

He is also a former chairman of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians. Ramos’s wide range of experience and knowledge of local and regional issues is complemented by his unique ability to bring Republicans and Democrats together to collaborate on controversial issues. It also led to an appointment by Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to the California State Native American Heritage Commission. Governor Jerry Brown named him to the State Board of Education in 2011.

In Ramos’s first term in the Assembly, he championed mental health issues such as bullying and suicide prevention before COVID-19 exacerbated the mental health crisis.
