Sandra Jauregui is a first-generation American and the proud daughter of Mexican immigrants who built their small business, bought a home, and created opportunities for their family through hard work and perseverance. They taught her the values of integrity, resilience, and standing up for others.

While attending UNLV, Sandra began her career working in nonprofit and state housing relief programs, including with the Nevada Attorney General’s housing program and the Financial Guidance Center. During the Great Recession, she saw firsthand how deeply families were hurting and made it her mission to help Nevadans stay in their homes. She later expanded that work by establishing and overseeing down payment assistance programs that helped families achieve the dream of homeownership.

Sandra went on to work in the private sector, continuing to help hardworking Nevadans buy homes while building deep experience in housing policy, economic development, and community outreach.

When she saw state leaders passing laws that increased costs for families and weakened worker protections, Sandra decided to run for office to fight for a better direction for Nevada.
