🔥 Honored to be endorsed by California Professional Firefighters. This support is deeply personal. Both of my brothers in law are firefighters in Assembly District 12, and I know how much this work demands. I’m grateful for their trust.

It was good to be with so many community members and local leaders last night at State Senator Mike McGuire’s congressional kickoff. Mike has long been a thoughtful, committed leader for the North Bay, and the turnout spoke volumes.

Her Bold Move has endorsed our campaign. They back women candidates who take bold positions to protect reproductive freedom, bodily autonomy, and women’s safety, especially in this moment. Grateful to have the support of a growing coalition of women-led organizations pushing real change.

Our campaign is building real momentum. Over the second half of 2025, we raised more than any other candidate in AD 12. That momentum carried to the CADEM pre endorsement conference, where the vote was deadlocked and we earned 1 out of every 3 delegate votes. THANK YOU!

Encouraging signs for the campaign of @caworkingfamilies.bsky.social endorsed candidate @jackieelward.bsky.social! I look forward to voting for her this June.

Honored to earn the endorsement of California Women’s List. They support women who fight for equity, reproductive freedom, and dismantling systems of oppression. Proud to stand with an intersectional feminist organization electing women across California.

Grateful to join the Sonoma County API Democratic Club for their New Year lunch. We talked about turnout and momentum, when Asian American voters show up, they can shift outcomes, and in the year of the horse we’re building that energy.

In 2022 I managed the campaign to unseat Supervisor David Rabbitt, the rightmost member of the Sonoma County BoS. Alas, we came up short. It's 2026, and a new challenger has appeared: the beloved Joanna Paun. More info to come, but her donation form is live: secure.actblue.com/donate/joann...

Thank you to Supervisor Coursey for taking a courageous stand against cooperating with ICE. I call on every AD12 supervisor to do the same, and when elected I will fight to stop ICE from operating freely in California and enforce state law when agents overstep. www.pressdemocrat.com/2026/01/21/s...

Pleased to see WFP and DSA endorsed candidates emerging here in California! WFP has endorsed @jackieelward.bsky.social for State Assembly D12 and @thisisjanekim.bsky.social for Insurance Commissioner. And DSA Kern County has endorsed @oliverma2026.bsky.social for Lt Gov. More are coming 👀

Honored to announce the endorsement of my own union, the California School Employees Association, for State Assembly. Proud to have the support of education advocates across California, including CTA, CFT, CFA, and CA State Superintendent Tony Thurmond.

Earlier this week, I attended the MLK Labor Breakfast in San Francisco with labor leaders and community advocates. Dr. King’s reminder that the labor movement transforms misery and despair into hope and progress has stayed with me. Grateful for the powerful keynote from Rev. Dr. Angela D. Sims. ✊🏾

Honored to join the Marin City community for the 27th annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration. Grateful for the powerful keynote from Dr. Dana Emerson. “Decision making must include those impacted the most.” A principle that guides my work.

Stood with 150+ community members outside the Sonoma County Jail as religious leaders read from Dr. King’s Letter from Birmingham Jail. On MLK weekend, we demanded dignity, due process, and real protections for immigrant families. Solidarity in action. ✊🏽

Grateful to join the AAPIC North Bay Annual General Meeting this weekend. Thank you to President Laurie Fong and the AAPIC team for the thoughtful program, great food, and meaningful conversation about the year ahead.

Great night with North Bay Working Families Party kicking off the new year with organizers and community leaders ready to get to work. Grateful to share a few words about our Assembly campaign and hear from Damon Connolly, Chris Rogers, and CA WFP Director Jane Kim.

Grateful to see Cotati neighbors showing up today for the ICE Out For Good action. Community matters, and I’m thankful to stand with people speaking up for dignity, accountability, and an end to policies that harm families.

Hundreds gathered today in Santa Rosa because Renee Good should still be alive. People are angry because ICE operates without accountability, escalates encounters and endangers entire communities. What we saw today was shared outrage, and it’s justified. Silence is not an option.

Heartbroken over the killing of Renee Nicole Good, shot by ICE today in Minneapolis. Raids like this spread fear, not safety. As an African-born naturalized citizen, I know that terror. ICE is dangerous and unaccountable. Californians need leaders who protect lives and due process.

Yesterday I witnessed history. Senator Monique Limón was sworn in as the 50th Senate President pro Tempore, the first Latina and first mother to hold the role. With Robert Rivas as Speaker, representation and lived experience are leading California forward.

Tonight is our California Assembly filing deadline. If you believe in housing justice, climate action, and standing up for working families, please donate before midnight. Contributions made tonight count and help show real momentum. Donate here: www.jackie4assembly.com/donate

The sky cleared just in time for the Marin Hanukkah Festival at Strawberry Village. Great food, an amazing live jazz band, and wonderful people. Thanks to Chabad of Mill Valley and Chabad of Tiburon for hosting. Happy Hanukkah. Be the light! 🕎

So glad to be out tonight for the 5th Annual Fairfax Chanukah Celebration. Thank you to Chabad of West Marin and the City of Fairfax for a warm community event. Great to see families together for the Menorah lighting. Wishing our Jewish neighbors a meaningful Chanukah.

The Sausalito Lighted Boat Parade last night was so beautiful. A great reminder of how lucky we are to live here. 🎄⛵️

Grateful to join the community in San Rafael last night for the Festival of Lights and a Hanukkah celebration hosted by Congregation Rodef Sholom. Especially now, coming together in peace and community matters.

Great to be with the Marin Women's Political Action Committee tonight for their holiday gathering. I appreciated the chance to connect and to learn more about the Postpartum Support Center of Marin and the critical support they provide to parents and families in our community.

Honored to be the only candidate in this State Assembly race to receive the recommendation of the North Bay Labor Council. I’ve walked the lines and stood with workers, and I’ll carry their voices with me to Sacramento. *This is only a recommendation. The full endorsement will be decided in March.

Last night’s Rohnert Park Council meeting was a special one. Thank you to outgoing Mayor Giudice for your steady leadership. Congratulations to Mayor Sanborn. As Vice Mayor, I look forward to supporting her vision and working with my colleagues to keep the city moving forward.

Loved spending time with the Oakmont Progressives and the Oakmont Democratic Alliance at their holiday party last night. I appreciated the chance to share a few words and hear what’s on people’s minds as we head into the new year.

I loved catching up with the Sonoma Valley Democrats at their holiday party last night. This group has been so welcoming over the years, and I always appreciate the chance to connect with them. It was also nice to celebrate after all the hard work that went into getting Prop 50 passed.

It was great to catch up with friends at the Petaluma Mobile Residents United holiday potluck yesterday. Their fight against wealthy owners who profit at the expense of seniors reminds me of the Christmas story, where greed gives way to compassion. Their pushback is powerful and needed.

Last night’s Rohnert Park tree lighting was magical. Grateful to join my colleagues on the council and see so many friends, families, and neighbors. Nights like this show why we’re the Friendly City and why I love serving this community. 🎄

Had a great time at the Holiday Crafts Faire in Novato yesterday and appreciated meeting the local artisans who make this community so special. Talking with vendors reminded me how creative and connected our district is, and why supporting small businesses matters.

I spent Friday night in Petaluma and Cotati for their tree lighting celebrations, and La Plaza Park was beautiful. Families were out, the lights were shining, and it was great to connect with so many neighbors kicking off the season together. 🎄

Proud to announce that the California Federation of Teachers has endorsed our campaign, joining CTA and CFA. Teachers know our communities and our kids, and I’ll keep fighting for the strong public schools they deserve.

I was honored to join the North Bay Building Trades luncheon yesterday in a venue built by the trades. They represent construction workers across Sonoma and Marin, and it meant a lot to have the full Rohnert Park City Council there in support.

Stopped by the Marin Country Mart for the tree lighting tonight. Nutcracker storytime opened the evening, and families gathered with free hot chocolate for the countdown. Fourth holiday event this week across AD12, and the season is just getting started.

Spent the evening at the Stinson Beach Firefighters’ Ball last night, celebrating the crews who keep our coastal communities safe. With both of my brothers-in-law serving as Marin firefighters, I’ll always show up for them. And thank you to Cover Me Badd for a great show.

I had a great time at Winter Wonderland and the tree lighting in downtown San Rafael last night. Children were running through the fake snow while families enjoyed the festivities. It was a wonderful start to the season.

The season is here, and it was great to celebrate in both San Rafael and Santa Rosa last night. The San Rafael Holiday Light Spectacular is open nightly until January 4, a beautiful way to enjoy the season. Grateful to criss cross AD12 and spend time with our communities.

Thank you to the Rotary Club of Rohnert Park Cotati and Sally Tomatoes for another Thanksgiving lunch at the Senior Center. This annual tradition always reminds me why Rohnert Park is known as the Friendly City. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Spent the morning volunteering with the NAACP Santa Rosa Sonoma County Branch and handing out turkeys. It was good to be part of a community that shows up for one another, especially this time of year. Wishing our community a warm and hopeful Thanksgiving week.

SEIU California has endorsed our campaign for AD 12. Their 750,000 members include the workers who keep Marin and Sonoma running. I have stood with SEIU members for years, on picket lines and in the fight for fair wages and dignity at work. Grateful for their trust.

On Transgender Day of Remembrance, I’m holding the lives lost to anti-trans violence and the communities mourning them. We honor them by telling the truth, standing up to hate, and fighting for a world where every trans person can live safely and openly.

Last night I joined the community in Petaluma for the Chinatown Park plaque unveiling. Standing with elders, community leaders, and young people who are committed to keeping this history alive was powerful.

Tonight I joined the North Bay Labor Council’s COPE Awards dinner with my union brothers and sisters. Congratulations to Frank Reardon, Mike McGuire, Chris Snyder, Michael Pickens, and Patty Garbarino. Their leadership shows the strength of our labor movement. Solidarity forever.

Honoring all who’ve served our country. Your courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten. Visiting Pearl Harbor today was a powerful reminder of the cost of war and the strength of those who serve.
