2026 Election

California Environmental Voters Endorses Jessie Lopez for California's 68th Assembly District

California Environmental Voters has announced their endorsement of Santa Ana City Councilwoman Jessie Lopez for California State Assembly, District 68, in the 2026 election.

Since 1972, California Environmental Voters (formerly California League of Conservation Voters) has protected and enhanced the land, air, water, and health of all California communities by electing environmental champions.

In announcing their endorsement, Matt Abularach-Macias, Political Director, California Environmental Voters said:

"We’re proud to endorse Jessie Lopez because she has a proven track record of environmental leadership at the local level and a deep commitment to protecting the health of her community. In a time when corporate polluters and special interests continue to put profit over people, Jessie has consistently stood up for clean air, safe water, and affordable clean energy. We know she’ll bring that same courage and integrity to higher office—and that’s exactly the kind of leadership California needs right now."

—Matt Abularach-Macias, Political Director, California Environmental Voters

"As a Council Member, I was proud to have led efforts to secure funding for our city’s first climate action plan. Our community deserves leaders who will address the climate crisis at every level of government, and I look forward to working alongside California Environmental Voters to protect our natural resources, expand access to clean energy and ensure everyone has access to clean air, water, and open space."

—Jessie Lopez

About 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, 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.
