State of California
Member of the State Assembly, District 33
This person holds your district's seat in the California State Assembly (2-year term).
Assemblymember Alexandra (Ali) Macedo took 61.2% of the June 2 vote. Democrat Hipolito Angel Cerros took 38.8%. They were the only two candidates on the primary ballot. The district covers Tulare County and part of the southern Central Valley.
The winner holds one of 80 Assembly seats for a two-year term, inside a 12-year lifetime cap on service in Sacramento. An Assemblymember authors bills, sits on the policy committees that decide which bills advance, and argues for the district's share of the annual state budget. This district's member sits in the minority caucus, where enacting legislation requires majority-party agreement.
The two campaigns here are as far apart in resources as any on this ballot: one raised more than $1.1 million, the other has reported nothing at all. That imbalance is worth holding in mind as you read, because it shapes how much each candidate has been able to say publicly — and therefore how much there is for us to report about either of them.
Alexandra (Ali) Macedo
Alexandra Macedo comes from a Tulare farming family that has run a livestock market since 1939. She earned a law degree from San Joaquin College of Law and started a firm that helps farmers meet environmental rules. Voters elected her to the Assembly in 2024. Since then she has worked on water infrastructure, abandoned farmland and wildfire prevention.
She said she ran to be a voice for farmers, families and small businesses in the Central Valley, and to cut the gas tax. In August 2026 her fellow Assembly Republicans elected her their leader, replacing Heath Flora, who stepped down amid questions about his campaign spending.
She promises to fight the state's high cost of living and make communities safer. As the new Republican leader, she says her caucus will push to hold state officials accountable for spending.
Hipolito Angel Cerros
Hipolito Angel Cerros became mayor of Lindsay in 2022, when they were 24, the youngest mayor in the city's history. They now work as a public policy fellow. They have not served in the state Legislature or U.S. Congress.
In February 2024 the Lindsay City Council voted to remove Cerros from the mayor's seat, citing concerns that Cerros had overstepped their authority and broken the state's open meetings law, though Cerros said they respected the decision and wished the next mayor success.
No campaign website or news coverage of their platform could be located. What is known comes from their time as Lindsay's mayor.

2Figures are CA Form 460 filings through June 30, 2026 by committees controlled by each candidate, and can include transfers from a candidate's earlier committees. Semi-annual reports covering January–June 2026 were due July 31, 2026, so some totals lag a period behind. Per the California Secretary of State's Cal-Access raw data export, retrieved 2026-09-21.
3Hipolito Angel Cerros has no itemized contributions dated after the June 2, 2026 primary reported to Cal-Access yet.
4Total is itemized (Schedule A) contributions and self-funding loans dated after the June 2, 2026 primary, through June 30, 2026 — small-dollar unitemized (under $100) contributions aren't independently dated in Cal-Access's raw export, so they aren't reflected here and this may undercount true small-donor activity since the primary. This also doesn't include money reported only on 24-hour late-contribution reports (Form 497) that haven't yet appeared in a periodic Form 460 filing.
