My Top 3 Priorities

  • Fight to end homelessness - we need a County Supervisor with experience working with local communities to get people off the streets.
  • Economic recovery - Put people back to work by investing in infrastructure, school-to-work pathways, and career training.
  • Mental health care - We can't have a thriving region if people aren't healthy. We need to build a better local mental health care program.

Daring Leadership: On the Cosumnes Community Services District (CSD) Board, Jaclyn has been a forceful advocate for workforce development and local jobs.
