Stephanie Nguyen has lived, worked, and served the Sacramento and Elk Grove communities almost all her life. The daughter of Vietnamese Refugees who fled Vietnam War by boat, she grew up in Sacramento’s Little Saigon district and attended Sacramento schools before graduating from Sacramento State University. The hardships endured by her parents and the experience of growing up in a low-income household fuel her desire to serve others and help those most in need.
As the wife of a police officer and member of the Sheriff’s community advisory board, Stephanie knows first-hand the importance of keeping our neighborhoods safe. She knows that crime is on the rise, including serious and violent assaults, rampant retail theft and gang violence.
​
In her positions as an Executive Director for non-profit and City Councilmember, Stephanie has worked with local police to curb gang violence and has been the leading voice in Sacramento to combat the rise of Asian hate crimes.
There is a reason Stephanie has earned all the support of our local frontline peace officers and over 50,000 law enforcement officers statewide. She knows how important public safety is to maintaining healthy and vibrant neighborhoods.
​
Stephanie Nguyen will be a fierce advocate for keeping us safe in the Assembly.
