PUTTING OUR COMMUNITY FIRST.
MEET JESSICA
​
Jessica Caloza is a renter, women’s rights advocate, a proud immigrant, and the daughter of working-class parents running for Assembly to fight for all working families. In the Assembly, Jessica will invest in public education, support small businesses, protect a woman’s right to choose, reduce the cost of living, and take bold action on the climate crisis. She worked for President Obama helping underfunded public schools and served as a L.A. Public Works Commissioner, where she expanded good-paying union jobs, raised wages for workers, and required equal pay for women.
At the California Department of Justice, Jessica has worked to reduce crime and gun violence, helped survivors of sexual assault receive justice, and taken bold action to protect the environment. Jessica is supported by teachers, nurses, Planned Parenthood, the California Federation of Labor Unions, and the California Democratic Party — because she will invest in working families and the middle class.
WHY I'M RUNNING
My family had the opportunity to work hard, get good paying jobs, and build a better life. I want all families to have the same opportunity my family did — because it's not about one of us, it's about all of us. That’s what my campaign for Assembly is about. I want to bring the community’s voice to Sacramento.
The challenges facing hard working families and neighborhoods across our district are many but I’m ready to fight for change. People throughout the 52nd District need and deserve a representative in the State Assembly who will bring compassion, proven leadership, inclusiveness, and a forward-thinking vision to get things done. We have many issues to tackle — rising costs of living, a worsening homelessness and housing crisis, a lack of good-paying middle class jobs, attacks on reproductive freedom and access to abortion, an underfunded public education system, a climate emergency, rampant gun violence, and more. My life’s work has been about bringing diverse communities together to find common ground and make positive change and that’s how I plan to lead in the Assembly. I want to fight for the people of the 52nd District like I would fight for my family.
"It's not about one of us, it's about all of us. That’s what my campaign for Assembly is about."
