Rob Fuentes is a son of the Central Valley. Born in the heart of Fresno, Rob has dedicated his life to public service in the city that he calls home–fighting to expand opportunities for working families just like his.

 

Rob currently serves as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Fresno for the Department of Justice, where he prosecutes cases involving white collar fraud committed against the public. He also serves as the Vice President of the State Center Community College District (SCCCD) Board of Trustees, where he works with teachers, trades, and businesses to ensure that our Fresno City College students have the skills and training necessary to succeed in a modern, 21st century economy. He also teaches at San Joaquin College of Law, where he is dedicated to training the next generation of law practitioners in Fresno and throughout the Valley.

 

Previously, Rob represented workers in cases involving wage-and-hour violations, unlawful termination, and retaliation. He also served on the Fresno Planning Commission, where he strove to make it easier and much less burdensome to develop multifamily and single-family housing throughout the city.

 

The product of a farmworker family, Rob learned from an early age the value of hardwork, sacrifice, and perseverance. He was the first in his family to graduate from college, and he holds a BA from Stanford, an MPP from the Harvard Kennedy School, and a JD from Yale Law School.
