JEYSON LOPEZ IS A FIRST-GENERATION MEXICAN AMERICAN WHO WAS RAISED TO RESPECT AND ADMIRE HIS COUNTRY FOR ALL IT REPRESENTS. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INSPIRES ORDINARY PEOPLE TO DREAM BEYOND THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES AND ACHIEVE MORE THAN THEY EVER IMAGINED POSSIBLE.

TODAY, THAT PROMISE FEELS OUT OF REACH FOR TOO MANY. JEYSON IS RUNNING TO BRING AMBITION BACK TO CALIFORNIA AND BACK TO AMERICA.

BORN IN LOS ANGELES AND RAISED IN EAST SIDE SAN JOSE, JEYSON GRADUATED FROM CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, EAST BAY WITH A BACHELOR’s DEGREE IN POLITICAL SCIENCE AND A MINOR IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE. BEFORE COLLEGE, JEYSON ATTENDED ROCKETSHIP: SI SE PUEDE ELEMENTARY, ALPHA: BLANCA ALVARADO MIDDLE, AND ALPHA: CINDY AVITIA HIGH SCHOOL. A CHARTER SCHOOL EDUCATION PROVIDED JEYSON WITH EXPOSURE TO HIGHER EDUCATION AND TAUGHT JEYSON THAT QUALITY OF EDUCATION IS EQUAL, NO MATTER YOUR ZIP CODE.

UNTIL HIGH SCHOOL, JEYSON WAS ON THE PATH TO STUDY COMPUTER SCIENCE. JEYSON WAS ALREADY INVOLVED IN COMPUTER CODING PROGRAMS AND WAS ABLE TO TEACH MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS THE BASICS OF COMPUTER CODING AFTER SCHOOL AS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT HIMSELF.

2016 CAME AROUND, AND JEYSON WITNESSED CHARACTERS WHO BROUGHT OUT THE WORST IN PEOPLE AND VIOLENTLY CHARACTERIZED THE IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY. THE ENTIRE ELECTION, RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING, FLIPPED JEYSON’s WORLD BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME HE FELT A DRIVE TO GET INVOLVED. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME HE FELT STRONG EMOTIONS TOWARDS A DISCUSSION AND WAS ABLE TO EDUCATE HIMSELF BASED ON THE NEEDS OF THE MOMENT.

THROUGHOUT THE 2016 ELECTION, JEYSON COULD NOT VOTE BUT COULD VOLUNTEER FOR A DIRECTION THAT HE WANTED FOR HIS COUNTRY. VOLUNTEERING FOR THE HILLARY CLINTON PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN GAVE JEYSON HOPE FOR A MORE COMPASSIONATE COUNTRY. WHEN ELECTION NIGHT ARRIVED, IT WAS DEVASTATING BUT INSPIRATIONAL BECAUSE OF WHAT HE FELT IN THE MORNING AFTER ELECTION NIGHT. JEYSON KNEW WHERE HE NEEDED TO BE.

WHILE ATTENDING CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, EAST BAY, PROFESSOR CHRIS BLOOD INSPIRED JEYSON TO LOOK PAST FACE-VALUE PRESENTATION AND DIG DEEPER BY FOLLOWING THE FACTS. PROFESSOR BLOOD ENCOURAGED JEYSON TO DREAM BIG IN HIS POLITICAL ASPIRATIONS AND IGNITED A PASSION TO UNMASK GOVERNMENT’s FAILURES HEAD-ON AND RESTORE FAITH FOR THOSE WHO TURN TO GOVERNMENT IN DESPERATION.

WHILE IN COLLEGE, JEYSON VOLUNTEERED AS A STUDENT OUTREACH COORDINATOR FOR THE 2020 KAMALA HARRIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AND AGAINST THE GAVIN NEWSOM RECALL IN 2021.

IN THE LAST 10 YEARS, JEYSON HAS WORKED FOR MAJOR CORPORATIONS AND HAS BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO WITNESS THE SALES FLOOR UP TO THE EXECUTIVE SUITES. JEYSON UNDERSTANDS THE RIGGED CORPORATE BALANCE SHEETS FIRST-HAND, WHERE PROFITS SOAR WHILE WORKERS SCRAPE BY WITH THE WIDENING GAP BETWEEN CEO COMPENSATION AND WORKER WAGES.

JEYSON STRONGLY BELIEVES THAT YOUR EMPLOYER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE, AND IF A CORPORATION IS PROFITABLE, ITS WORKERS SHOULD NOT RELY ON SOCIAL SERVICES TO SURVIVE.

WHEN CORPORATIONS EXPLOIT LOOPHOLES, UNDERPAY WORKERS, OR CREATE INTERNAL PAY DISPARITIES, GOVERNMENT MUST STEP IN AND ENFORCE TRANSPARENCY. AS LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, JEYSON WILL PUSH FOR INVESTIGATIONS INTO WAGE DISCREPANCIES AND HOLD CORPORATIONS ACCOUNTABLE FOR CHEATING WORKERS OUT OF EARNED COMPENSATION AND WELL-DESERVED CONTRIBUTION DISBURSEMENTS.

ON EDUCATION, JEYSON HAS BEEN THROUGH THE CSU SYSTEM HIMSELF AND UNDERSTANDS, IN COLLABORATION WITH FELLOW ALUMNI, THAT 4-YEAR COLLEGES ARE NO LONGER ALIGNED WITH ECONOMIC REALITY. IN 2026, HIGHER EDUCATION STILL FEELS UNATTAINABLE FOR MILLIONS AND THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE.

WE MUST MODERNIZE EDUCATION — MAKING IT FASTER, MORE AFFORDABLE, AND DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO WORKFORCE DEMAND — SO CALIFORNIANS CAN BUILD CAREERS WITHOUT LIFELONG DEBT.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS THE RICHEST AND MOST POWERFUL NATION IN THE WORLD. CALIFORNIA IS THE RICHEST STATE IN THE MOST POWERFUL NATION IN THE WORLD. WITH SUCH WEALTH, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE WORKING 40+ HOURS A WEEK AND STILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD BASIC NECESSITIES.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO NEGOTIATE WITH THEMSELVES ON THE PRIORITY OF THEIR DAY-TO-DAY EXPENSES. IF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FEELS THAT THEY CANNOT PRIORITIZE ITS PEOPLE, BUT INSTEAD KEEP CORPORATE INTERESTS IN FAVOR, CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BACK DOWN!

ALTHOUGH JEYSON DISAGREES WITH THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION, JEYSON ACKNOWLEDGES THE PRESIDENT’s WILLPOWER AND INTENDS TO USE THE POWER OF YES TO BETTER THE LIVES OF CALIFORNIANS. ELECTING JEYSON AS YOUR NEXT LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA WILL BRING BACK AMBITION TO GOVERNMENT AND USE GOVERNMENT TO EMBRACE MIXED STATUS FAMILIES, CRACK DOWN ON CORPORATE GREED, AND MOVE OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM FORWARD!

JEYSON IS ONE OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHO ARE TIRED OF PLACING ESTABLISHMENT POLITICIANS ON A PEDESTAL WHILE THEY COLLECT A PAYCHECK, GROW THEIR NET WORTH, AND DIVIDE THIS COUNTRY BY POINTING FINGERS. JEYSON BELIEVES IT’s TIME TO ELECT ACCOUNTABLE, FORWARD-THINKING LEADERS WHO CHAMPION A “YES, WE CAN!” MINDSET, RATHER THAN THOSE PARALYZED BY PRECEDENT.

ESTABLISHMENT POLITICIANS HAVE FAILED GEN-Z, AND WE NEED TO KEEP THIS COUNTRY MOVING. THE OPTIONS WE ARE BEING PRESENTED WITH ARE WEAK AND NOT ENOUGH. WE CANNOT WAIT FOR ONE INDIVIDUAL TO COME IN AND “SAVE” US. THIS IS A TEAM EFFORT, AND JEYSON IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE IN THIS RACE WILLING TO ASK THE PUBLIC AND STATE CONGRESS FOR MORE STATE CONSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT SETTLE FOR AN EMPTY ROLE AS THE GOVERNOR’s SIDE PIECE.

JOIN THE LOPEZ CAMPAIGN! TOGETHER, WE’LL CREATE A STRONGER CALIFORNIA — WHERE AMBITION THRIVES, AND EVERY DREAM GETS ITS SHOT. YES, IT’s POSSIBLE! ¡SÍ SE PUEDE!
