Proud to stand with National Union of Healthcare Workers nurses at Petaluma Valley Hospital yesterday. They’re fighting unsafe staffing and last-minute shift cancellations that put patient care at risk. Standing with workers who are standing up for our community.

Great energy out there this morning in Petaluma. Thank you to Congressman Mike Thompson for including us in today’s joint canvass at Lucchesi Park. It was incredible to see so many people showing up, knocking doors, and talking with neighbors about the issues that matter most. Let’s win this.

Rain tried to stop us, it clearly doesn’t know Team Elward. Huge thanks to everyone who showed up this morning in Rohnert Park, and to those still out walking in the rain. Onward, upward.

Proud to be endorsed in our Assembly race by the California Young Democrats, the official youth arm of the CA Democratic Party, and Young Democrats chapters at College of Marin, Sonoma State, Santa Rosa Junior College, and more. The next generation is stepping up and choosing our campaign.

From a full morning of knocking doors to a packed house in Fairfax last night. Thank you to our host for opening your home. We had a strong turnout, meaningful conversations about housing, climate action, and public safety, and a real sense of momentum.

Kicked off our walk in Novato at Pioneer Park today. Great conversations with neighbors and real energy out there. This is how we win, together.

Proud to be endorsed by Sonoma County Conservation Action, a grassroots leader in protecting our environment and quality of life. In the Assembly, I’ll push for clean energy, protect open space, invest in climate resilience, and support good local jobs as we build a more sustainable future.

3,000 doors. Dozens of neighborhoods. Real conversations. Now we bring it together. April 4. Coalition walk day. Join us.

Grateful to be endorsed by Teamsters Joint Council 7. As a union member and part of a Teamster family, this means a lot. I’ll keep showing up for workers and fighting for them in Sacramento.

On this last day of Women’s History Month, I’m proud to announce the endorsement of State Controller Malia Cohen. A former SF Supervisor and Board of Equalization Chair, she’s now helping ensure accountability for Californians.

The season of yard signs is upon us! Three candidates I'm genuinely thrilled to support this year: - @jackieelward.bsky.social for CA State AD12 - Joanna Paun for Sonoma County D2 (electjoannapaun.com) - and cars slowing the hell down

It's that time of the year. If you're in Marin or Southern Sonoma County and would like a sign, let us know, and we will deliver one to you sometime in the next couple of weeks!

Proud to earn the endorsement of the California Federation of Labor, representing over 1,000 unions and 2M+ members. As a CSEA member and Teamster spouse, I know what solidarity means. I’ll always stand with working families.

Thanks to everyone who came out to our Petaluma house party last night to hear our vision for Assembly District 12. I’m always grateful for the chance to listen and connect with constituents. Want to host a house party, canvass, or get a yard sign? Reach out. Onward and upward. 💙

Grateful for everyone who came out to our Sacramento fundraiser last night. A great turnout and a reminder of how many people believe in this campaign, and that Sacramento is ready for us to get there and start delivering. Now we get to work. Onward and upward.

Big news, North Bay! Our campaign for CA Assembly District 12 is officially on the ballot. 🎉 In Rohnert Park we’ve shown what’s possible when a community organizes for working families. Now we’re ready to bring that work to Marin and Sonoma. I would be honored to earn your support.

Celebrating Arbor Day in Rohnert Park. 🌳 Thanks to the volunteers who came out to plant trees. In between campaign calls and door knocking, it was nice to spend a little time planting seeds for the future.

Had a great time at the Marin Democratic Party's Ragin’ Cajun Friday night in San Rafael. So good to see friends, connect with folks from across Marin, and celebrate the work ahead together.

March is Women’s History Month. I’m proud to have the support of Assemblymember Liz Ortega. A longtime labor leader, Liz served as statewide political director for AFSCME Local 3299 and became the first Latina to lead the Alameda Labor Council.

Thank you to the Young Democrats at Santa Rosa Junior College for inviting me to share about my campaign for State Assembly tonight. Inspired by students stepping up to protect our democracy and get involved.

Women’s History Month is about lifting up leaders who break barriers. Proud to have the support of State Senator Lola Smallwood-Cuevas, co-founder of the nation’s first Black Worker Center and a champion for workers across California.

Sonoma County Democratic Crab Feed in the books. We celebrated the Prop 50 win and are already focused on the midterms. Congratulations to the awardees, and thank you Chairman Greg Sarris and the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria for the one ton of crab. Shell yeah.

Honored to earn the endorsement of the California Young Democrats, the official youth arm of the CA Democratic Party. Young leaders across our state are organizing for bold change, and I’m proud to stand with them.

I came to the U.S. in 2003. It took years of paperwork, fees, and uncertainty before I became a citizen 13 years ago today. I know how fear driven ICE policies hurt families. In the Assembly, I will defend immigrant families and strengthen sanctuary protections.

Proud to be endorsed by the North Bay Building Trades Council. I’ve taken hits for standing with the trades and I’ll take them again. I support strong PLAs, prevailing wage, and real labor standards. If we build in the North Bay, we build it right.

He’s from the Bay, he reps it hard. Thank you, LaRussell, for coming to our local Black Joy Fest yesterday and bringing that energy. Black joy is resilience. It’s resistance. It’s community. Grateful for everyone who showed up and celebrated with us.

During Black History Month, I’m honored to earn the endorsement of the California Legislative Black Caucus for AD12. Grateful for the trust and ready to keep moving our communities forward.

Proud to stand with Teamsters Local 2010 on strike at Sonoma State. You cannot give executive raises while denying fair pay to the electricians, plumbers, and mechanics who keep the lights on.

I was proud to join Teamsters 856 and the California Nurses Association on the picket line at MarinHealth Medical Center today. Healthcare workers deserve a fair contract, affordable healthcare, and safe staffing. It is always an honor to stand with working people, especially my Teamster family.

Great night in Rohnert Park and Cotati. The Chamber Crab Feed brought out our State Senator, Rohnert Park’s former Assemblymember, and so many local leaders supporting small businesses. Then I headed to St. Joseph’s and ended the night dancing with community members.

Last night at the Petaluma Historical Museum was special. Petaluma Blacks for Community Development created a powerful exhibit honoring local Black history and the leaders who shaped our community. As we celebrate Black History Month, we’re also focused on the future we’re building together.

Today I officially pulled nomination papers to run for Assembly District 12, and I’m excited to continue listening, building relationships, and earning the trust of communities across Marin and southern Sonoma County.

California will not allow this federal government to take away essential healthcare for women. Healthcare is a right & we will continue our fight to protect healthcare access for all Californians.

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...

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. ✊🏽
