Jackie Elward is a Progressive Champion for CA
Jackie Elward is a former City Councilwoman, Mayor, educator, labor organizer, and mother who immigrated to the U.S. from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and built a life rooted in service.
She made history in 2020 as the first Black woman elected to the Rohnert Park Council, defeating a six-term incumbent. As Mayor and Councilmember, Jackie has delivered real results — expanding affordable housing, addressing homelessness, protecting open space, investing in clean energy and transportation, and balancing the budget.
As the Trump administration escalates division and political violence throughout the U.S., Jackie is more determined than ever to stand up for every individual in California. She's seen what happens when democracy fails, and she knows what it takes to fight back for the people.
She's ready to fight for your priorities — but this campaign needs the support of people like you. Will you take the next step and pitch in any amount today to help elect progressive champion Jackie Elward to the State Assembly?
