For California State Assembly, AD-68

ABOUT JESSIE LOPEZ

Meet Jessie Lopez

Born and raised in Santa Ana, Jessie Lopez is the proud daughter of immigrants who came to the United States seeking safety and opportunity. Growing up in a single-parent household, Jessie saw firsthand the sacrifices her mother made to provide for their family. As a high school student, Jessie graduated from her local public school district and Project Self, a program that launched her into work with law firms where she quickly learned the value of delivering results and working hard. Despite facing housing and food insecurity while holding down two jobs to put herself through college, Jessie persevered and became the first in her family to graduate.

Jessie stepped up to run for City Council because she saw a lack of leadership fighting for the best interests of Santa Ana’s working families. Elected to represent Ward 3 in 2020 and re-elected in 2024, Jessie has delivered real results—leading efforts to expand affordable housing, address homelessness, protect public land, improve parks and infrastructure to improve quality of life, and improve water quality.

Now, Jessie is running for State Assembly to be a voice for working families across California. She knows firsthand the struggles of affording rent, earning a fair wage, and working two jobs to make ends meet.
