Key Issues and Vision

Wildfires & Disaster Preparedness

Strengthening wildfire prevention strategies, improving emergency response systems, and investing in infrastructure to mitigate fire risks. Leonard will push for better forest management, controlled burns, and enhanced emergency response plans to protect communities from devastating wildfires.

Economic Growth & Jobs

Supporting small businesses and fostering job creation to build a stronger California. By cutting unnecessary regulations, providing incentives for local businesses, and investing in workforce training, we can create opportunities for all Californians to thrive in a competitive economy.

Education

Let’s keep our best and brightest right here at home! Too many of our high school graduates don’t even apply to state schools because they know they can’t afford it—that’s unacceptable. I will fight to expand merit-based scholarships, ensuring that every hardworking student has the opportunity to succeed at our state universities without financial barriers

"Everyone has an opinion on what problems California struggles with, but there are seminal issues of our time that divert from such subjective intrigue: homelessness, mental health, and corruption. Leonard Jackson will put the people first in accountability for the bureaucracy and make sure your tax dollars are effectively deployed towards the first two and withheld from mal-intentuous actors. Only a mass of thought and good ideas will provide sufficient force to dislodge these pressing issues. Mr. Jackson has the open heart, ear, and a sharp mind to allow passage of the full force of the people of this state against our common struggles."

    “Leonard and I met through mutual friends about eight years ago, and in that time, I’ve seen firsthand his natural leadership qualities. His infectious personality and genuine desire to improve the lives of his friends, family, and community set him apart. We’ve discussed the changes in our state over the years, and his deep concern and drive to make a difference are evident. Leonard's strong family values, entrepreneurial success, and ability to connect with others make him an exceptional leader. His blend of compassion, ambition, and wisdom ensures he will thrive in any leadership role.”

A devoted family man and trusted friend, Leonard has been a constant source of support for me and my family, embodying true integrity and care. As a successful businessman with deep core values, he brings the leadership and vision California needs. Leonard’s unwavering love for this state and its people, combined with his proven dedication to making a difference, makes him the ideal choice to lead California forward. He can be trusted and that’s why I’d always support any endeavor he goes after. He’s a great man that I’m proud to call my friend.”

        "In today’s political climate, it feels less like thoughtful leadership and more like a turf war between political Bloods and Crips, each waving their red or blue flag with diehard loyalty. The focus seems to be on winning battles, not building solutions. But why Leonard Jackson? Because when I spoke to Leonard, he didn’t start by talking about his political colors or taking sides. He spoke about what it truly means to be a Californian—the shared responsibility we have, not just to each other as neighbors, but to the rest of the country as leaders. Leonard reminded me that California has always been a beacon of innovation, resilience, and unity. His vision isn’t about fueling this red-versus-blue divide but about bridging the gap and uniting us under one mission: to create a brighter, more inclusive future that reflects the promise of our state and inspires the rest of the nation. That’s why Leonard Jackson has my attention—and why I believe he deserves yours."
