Member of the State Assembly, District 11

This person holds your district's seat in the California State Assembly (2-year term).

Assemblymember Lori D Wilson took 65.3% of the June 2 vote. Jenny Leilani Callison, who has no party preference, took 23.6% and advances. Rochelle Conner finished third with 11.1% and is out. Wilson and Callison have met before. Wilson beat her in the November 2022 general election for this seat.

The winner holds one of 80 Assembly seats for a two-year term, inside a 12-year lifetime cap on service in Sacramento. An Assemblymember authors bills, sits on the policy committees that decide which bills advance, and argues for the district's share of the annual state budget. Committee assignment is where most of the leverage actually sits, and it is handed out by the majority's leadership rather than earned at the ballot box.

Both candidates have worked inside the Capitol — one as a member, one for fourteen years as committee staff — so this is not a contest between an insider and an outsider. It is a contest between two readings of what the district needs from the same building. Weigh the incumbent's accumulated committee position against a challenger who knows the process from the staff side and is running without a party label.

Lori D Wilson

Lori D Wilson is the Democratic Assemblymember for this district. She is a former mayor of Suisun City, the first Black woman to hold that job in Solano County's history. In the Assembly she chairs the Transportation Committee, the first Black woman to hold that post. She also chairs the California Legislative Black Caucus.

This year Wilson introduced a bill to pause law enforcement use of electroshock gloves until more safety studies are done. She has also authored bills on maternal health and criminal justice. One of her laws requires bias training for childbirth providers, to help address gaps in maternal deaths by race.

Wilson promises to keep delivering state funding and legislation for Solano County. That includes support for a shipbuilding project she says would bring good paying jobs to the county. She is seeking a third full term.

Jenny Leilani Callison

Jenny Leilani Callison has no party preference. She is a former Army officer. She spent about fourteen years as a legislative consultant on military and veterans issues, first for an Assembly committee and later for its Senate counterpart. She has not held elected office.

Callison says she wants California to be prosperous and affordable again. She opposes giving big companies environmental review exceptions that smaller businesses do not get. This is her second run for this seat. She lost to Wilson in 2022.

Callison promises to focus on lowering the cost of living and cutting red tape for small businesses. She also wants more consistent environmental review rules for all projects. She describes herself as a mostly libertarian leaning independent.

Figures are CA Form 460 filings through June 30, 2026 by committees controlled by each candidate, and can include transfers from a candidate's earlier committees. Semi-annual reports covering January–June 2026 were due July 31, 2026, so some totals lag a period behind. Per the California Secretary of State's Cal-Access raw data export, retrieved 2026-09-21.

Total is itemized (Schedule A) contributions and self-funding loans dated after the June 2, 2026 primary, through June 30, 2026 — small-dollar unitemized (under $100) contributions aren't independently dated in Cal-Access's raw export, so they aren't reflected here and this may undercount true small-donor activity since the primary. This also doesn't include money reported only on 24-hour late-contribution reports (Form 497) that haven't yet appeared in a periodic Form 460 filing. Per the California Secretary of State's Cal-Access raw data export, retrieved 2026-08-30.
