Alexandra Macedo (born 1994/1995) is an American politician who is a member of the California State Assembly for the 33rd district, a largely rural district based in the San Joaquin Valley.
Macedo was born and raised in Tulare, California to an agricultural family of Portuguese descent that grew almonds and has run the Tulare Sales Yard since 1939. She started participating in 4-H and the National FFA Organization in the 4th grade. At 8 years old, Macedo was diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia.
Following graduation from Tulare Union High School, she attended California State University, Northridge where she obtained a Bachelor of Science in business law and later earned a Juris Doctor from the San Joaquin College of Law. She is not admitted to the bar.
She founded Macedo Engineering & Consulting Inc. with her mother, an agricultural company focused on supporting dairy and crop farmers. She is currently President of Macedo Environmental Consulting Inc., offering environmental compliance assistance and consulting along with agricultural design and project management.
In 2018, Macedo won the Miss Central Valley beauty pageant.
Incumbent Devon Mathis announced he would not seek re-election to the California State Assembly in 2024 and endorsed Macedo for the seat the next day.
As a state legislator, Macedo has publicly opposed major spending on CaliforniaâÂÂs High-Speed Rail project, calling Governor Gavin NewsomâÂÂs announcement of its southern railhead completion âÂÂan absolute disgrace and disrespectful to the Central Valley.âÂÂ
She has also expressed concerns about proposed state redistricting maps and suggested potential legal challenges, contending that current proposals could disenfranchise voters.
In 2025, Macedo was named âÂÂAlmond Champion of the Yearâ by the Almond Alliance in recognition of her leadership on agricultural issues, such as water infrastructure, wildfire prevention, and cost reduction for workers and farmers.
