Eloise Gómez Reyes (born January 27, 1956) is an American politician who formerly served as the Majority Leader of the California State Assembly.[1] She is a Democrat representing the 50th Assembly District, encompassing urban parts of southwestern San Bernardino County, including the cities of Rialto, Colton, and Fontana. She was first elected to the 47th Assembly District by defeating fellow Democrat Cheryl Brown in 2016, who she claimed was not progressive enough.
Prior to her election to the Assembly, she was an attorney. In 2014, Reyes ran unsuccessfully for the United States House of Representatives in the 31st Congressional District, coming in fourth place in the June primary.
Reyes is a member of the California Legislative Progressive Caucus.[2]
