On the ballot

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

Assemblymember Corey A Jackson took 59.8% of the June 2 vote and Republican Ed Delgado took 25.1% to claim the second slot. The district covers Moreno Valley and part of Riverside County.

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 sits, and it is handed out by the majority's leadership.

The incumbent authored 32 bills and had 2 signed into law, one of the lowest conversion rates among majority-party members on this ballot — a majority member has fewer procedural excuses than a minority one. The challenger has assembled a modest but real campaign. Weigh output against effort here.

Corey A Jackson

Democrat, the sitting Assemblymember for this district. He is lead author of 32 bills in the 2025–2026 session, 2 of them signed into law. He took just under 60% of the June vote.

Strengths

An established seat with committee standing and a high volume of bills introduced.

Trade-offs

Two bills signed from 32 authored is among the lowest conversion rates for a majority-party member here — high activity, little of it reaching law.

Keep in mind

Majority members do not face the cross-party hurdle that explains low conversion for minority members.

Ed Delgado

Republican, who advanced with 25.1% of the June vote. He raised $155,449, including $81,709 from PACs and committees and $40,150 from individuals. He has not served in the California Legislature or U.S. Congress.

Strengths

A funded campaign with real committee backing, which most challengers on this ballot did not assemble.

Trade-offs

He finished nearly 35 points behind on about a quarter of the incumbent's money, and has no record in office to be judged on.

Keep in mind

Coverage surfaced little detail about his platform; what we can document is how his campaign is funded and how it polled, not what he would do in office.
