Meet Jessica
Jessica Caloza is a renter, a women’s rights advocate, a proud immigrant, and the daughter of working-class parents running for Assembly to fight for all working families, reduce costs, and improve public education.
Jessica is a dedicated public servant and worked for President Obama helping underfunded public schools get more resources. As L.A. Public Works Commissioner, Jessica expanded good-paying union jobs, raised wages for workers, and required equal pay for women while increasing transparency and accountability. As Deputy Chief of Staff 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.
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. Jessica is supported by classroom teachers, nurses, Planned Parenthood, the California Federation of Labor Unions, the California Democratic Party, and housing and civil rights advocates — because she will invest in working families and the middle class.
