State of California

Member of the State Assembly, District 52

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

Incumbent Jessica Caloza is a Democrat. She took 85.8% of the June vote in this East and Northeast LA district. Republican Andrea Lee Anderson advances to the November 3 rematch. June's margin shows where this district's politics stand.

Assembly terms run two years, one of 80 seats, with a 12-year lifetime cap in Sacramento. In a district this lopsided, the stakes are less about November than about what its representative does inside the majority: committee work, budget asks, and which bills they author.

June's margin means the November result is not really in question, so the useful question is what this district gets from a seat held this comfortably. One candidate has a first-term record you can examine; the other has almost no public record at all. Weigh what has been done with the seat so far, and note that accountability here will come from constituents rather than from the ballot.

Andrea Lee Anderson has no contributions reported to Cal-Access for this race.

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.

Andrea Lee Anderson has no itemized contributions dated after the June 2, 2026 primary reported to Cal-Access yet.

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.
