Bob Jerry Archuleta (born June 1, 1945) is an American politician serving in the California State Senate. He is a Democrat representing the 30th district, encompassing parts of southeastern Los Angeles County & Orange County. Prior to being elected to the state senate, he served on the Pico Rivera City Council.

Archuleta ran for the California state Senate in 2018 in both a special election to fill the seat left vacant by the resignation of incumbent Democrat Tony Mendoza, as well as the regularly scheduled election. Mendoza resigned to avoid a possible expulsion vote from the State Senate after being accused of years of sexual harassment of female former aides.[1] Although he had resigned the seat, Mendoza also ran in both elections. Archuleta narrowly lost the special election to Montebello Mayor Vanessa Delgado, but won the regularly scheduled election in a major upset, as Delgado had the support of much of the state Democratic Party's leadership. In 2022, Archuleta ran for reelection, in a district that has since been renumbered as the 30th district. He won the election with 61% of the vote.

Much of his work focuses on the military. He served as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division. He has been involved with the United States Military Academy at West Point, & the United States Army Advisory Board for Military Recruitment. As of July 2024, he chairs the Senate Committee on Military & Veterans Affairs.[2]

He also has served on the Los Angeles County Library Commission & with the Montebello Police Department.[2]

Policies

In 2024, Archuleta introduced a bill that would require all males in California to register for selective service before renewing or receiving a new drivers license.[3]
