County of Sacramento Board of Supervisors Supervisor Phil Serna

Reelected to his District 1 seat on the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors in the June 2022 primary, Phil Serna has established himself as one of its two liberal voices, becoming active on a range of issues from Black infant mortality to opposing conservative Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones.

The son of late Sacramento mayor and farm labor organizer Joe Serna Jr., Phil Serna wrote in a letter to constituents on his district website, “Growing up in a home where civic engagement was a part of everyday life, I learned at a young age that it is not enough to sit on the sidelines and let government happen to you. A commitment to lead and the privilege of representing a community is about ensuring everyone has a voice in shaping the public policies governing our lives.”

Background

Prior to being elected in 2010, Serna did public advocacy work for the development community. He earned a master’s degree with honors in 1994 in city and regional planning from California State Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo and did his undergraduate studies at California State University, Sacramento.

Serna’s biography on his district website notes that he and his wife, Roxanna, have been married 24 years and live in North Natomas in Sacramento.

District Boundaries and Office Locations

Serna’s district covers much of the city of Sacramento, its only incorporated area, with Natomas and South Sacramento the district’s two community planning area. Roughly, the district boundaries are the Sacramento River to the west, Elverta Road to the north, Howe Avenue to the east, and Florin Road at its furthest point south.
