Expand all | Collapse all

Jenny Leilani Callison is an Army veteran, roller derby and baseball coach, mom, and recently obtained a Masters Degree in Public Policy and Administration from California State University, Sacramento.
  • Our young people deserve the best education available in 2022. I support school choice and parent choice.
  • I want to prioritize mental health and improve access to mental health care services for all.
  • Housing affordability and homelessness worsened in recent years. I hope to collaborate with public and private organizations to implement effective change.
Education

I support the rights of parents to choose the best educational path for their children and will look for opportunities to expand school choice, while working to improve our public schools.
I want to ensure every deserving student ease of access to an IEP.


Mental Health
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated adverse mental health in California. I will work with federal, state, and local government and non-profits to ensure every resident of the district access to appropriate and timely mental health care.

Aging Community
The elderly in our community deserve respect and dignity throughout their lives.

Veterans
Assembly District 11 is the proud home to over 33,000 veterans. Those who committed to serve our country deserve full access to quality healthcare, gainful employment, appropriate education, and affordable housing.

Public Safety

Cities across California experienced an increase in crime. My goal is to work in collaboration with community leaders and the police department to ensure justice for victims and accountability in policing.
When I was 16 I worked at Kentucky Fried Chicken in Davis, CA, until I joined the US Army at 17. During my KFC experience I learned customer service and the value of hard work. The lunch and dinner rushes require teamwork, communication, and efficiency that I had only previously experienced while playing sports. Those values were an asset that better prepared me for time in the military.
