## On the ballot

- **Corey A Jackson** — State Assembly Member · Democratic · Incumbent
- **Ed Delgado** — City Council Member · Republican

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 3 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

Corey A. Jackson, DSW, MSW, represents the 60th Assembly District. He chairs the Budget Subcommittee on Human Services and previously chaired the full Human Services Committee. Before his 2022 election he founded and led SBX Youth and Family Services, and served on the Riverside County Board of Education (official site).

Jackson's official biography says his nonprofit was "instrumental in a historic settlement" of a lawsuit against Riverside County's Youth Accountability Team program. He says the program treated thousands of youths, especially youth of color, "like criminals for minor adolescent misbehaviors," after which the county agreed to changes (official site). In the current session he authored AB 422 and AB 563, both signed into law in 2025. They address the State Seal of Civic Engagement and an early-childhood policy council, respectively (leginfo.legislature.ca.gov). This September his office announced 2 million dollars in state budget funding for a new childcare district. His office calls it "California's first childcare special district," serving Moreno Valley and Perris (official site).

He promises to expand "affordable housing" and protect "Medi-Cal, food stamps, housing vouchers." He says as a state legislator he will "never cooperate" with federal immigration enforcement he calls unconstitutional overreach (Orange County Register questionnaire).

**Strengths:** A specific, sourced record of legislation signed into law and a nonprofit background tied directly to a documented county policy change.

**Trade-offs:** His account of the YAT settlement is his own telling; the profile does not have an independent account of that case to weigh it against.

**Keep in mind:** The childcare district funding was announced days before this profile; whether it delivers 24-hour care as promised will only be known after the district launches.

## Ed Delgado

Ed Delgado served 10 years in the U.S. Coast Guard, four of them active duty. They then joined the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, where they spent 25 years and rose to Assistant Sheriff, third in command under Sheriff Chad Bianco, overseeing the county's Corrections Division (campaign site). They were elected to the Moreno Valley City Council in 2021 and sit on the League of California Cities' Public Safety Committee.

"I've spent my life protecting people and I'm not about to stop now," Delgado says of their campaign (campaign site). At an April 7, 2026 council meeting, Delgado voted with the council's majority to continue two more years of funding for the Robert Garcia Boxing Academy. Two colleagues had objected that the program had not filed contractually required quarterly reports. The funding passed 4-1 after the council added the reporting requirement the critics had raised (Inland Valley Daily Bulletin).

Delgado promises to prioritize "safe communities, good roads, and good schools," cut "red tape" on housing construction, and push for "independent audits of big state programs" before any new taxes (Orange County Register questionnaire). They also list a "Two-Party State" as a top priority on their campaign site, without elaboration there (campaign site).

**Strengths:** A 25-year law-enforcement career reaching the department's number-three post, plus a sitting council seat.

**Trade-offs:** No state-legislative record, and Delgado's campaign material does not spell out what their "Two-Party State" priority would mean in office.

**Keep in mind:** Delgado's questionnaire answers lean on general oversight and cost-cutting language rather than specific proposals.

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.

## Review notes

- Ed Delgado for Assembly may have more bias because it is an advocacy voter guide compared to other formal government and nonprofit journalism sources.
