About Jessica Caloza

Jessica Caloza is a lifelong public servant, proud immigrant, and fighter for working families who has delivered real results for our communities in the State Assembly.

As our Assemblymember, Jessica has authored critical legislation to help everyday people confront the rising cost of living — expanding access to vital resources for small businesses and nonprofits, strengthening renters’ protections, and creating pathways to good-paying jobs. She has secured millions of dollars in investment to grow key industries — from film and television to firefighter training and recruitment — fueling our local economy and keeping our communities safe.

Before serving in the Assembly, Jessica worked in President Barack Obama’s Administration to support underfunded public schools; served as a Public Works Commissioner overseeing major infrastructure projects while expanding union jobs; and served as Deputy Chief of Staff to the Attorney General at the California Department of Justice. There, she defended women’s rights, worked to reduce gun violence, protected consumers, and took bold action to confront the climate crisis.
