Meet Santa Ana City Councilwoman
Jessie Lopez
Candidate for CA 68th Assembly District
Santa Ana City Councilwoman Jessie Lopez is running for State Assembly to bring the same community-first approach that has defined her service on the Santa Ana City Council to Sacramento. Her campaign is powered by the people—funded by grassroots supporters, not corporate interests or big-money donors.
​
Since joining the Santa Ana City Council in 2020, Jessie has consistently put the people of Santa Ana first. She has worked to:
-
Expand affordable housing opportunities for working families
-
Address homelessness with compassionate, effective solutions
-
Protect public land for community use
-
Improve water quality and environmental health
​
Jessie's approach to governing mirrors her campaign style: organized, community-driven, and focused on delivering real results for residents.
