Leonard Jackson is a proud Californian, entrepreneur, and community leader dedicated to putting people before politics. Born and raised in Hollywood, Leonard built his career by combining hard work, resilience, and vision—values he now plans to bring to the Governor’s office.

As the CEO of Norfleet Transportation, Leonard has grown a company rooted in service, providing essential transportation solutions while creating jobs and expanding opportunities across the state. He has also helped launch and lead businesses that empower small business owners and strengthen local economies—proving that innovation and compassion can go hand-in-hand.

Before stepping into business and public service, Leonard spent over two decades in the entertainment industry. His career as an actor includes over 200 national commercials and more than 50 television appearances, giving him a unique platform and perspective. His creative work taught him how to tell powerful stories, connect with people from all walks of life, and use his voice to amplify others—especially those often left unheard.

But Leonard’s greatest pride comes from being a devoted husband and father. As a family man, he understands the challenges everyday Californians face—juggling rising costs, safety concerns, and the hope of building a better future for the next generation.

Leonard’s journey has never been about personal success alone—it has always been about lifting others. Whether mentoring young entrepreneurs, showing up for communities in crisis, or helping families find stability and purpose, his leadership is rooted in empathy and action.

Now, as a California gubernatorial candidate for 2026, Leonard is committed to tackling the issues that matter most: affordability, education, public safety, and a government that listens to its people. His campaign is guided by a simple but powerful vision:

“We are stronger when we come together as Californians—not divided by parties or special interests.”
