Hi, I'm Jaron.
A LEADER THAT WILL DELIVER
I’m Jaron — Native son of the Sierra foothills and graduate of the Valley. My parents taught me the value of honesty, service, and hard work at two small independent businesses. Now, after 5 years putting that to good use improving public safety, infrastructure, housing, and fighting for local governments everywhere, it’s time to take that fight to Sacramento.
My philosophy is simple: Work hard, be honest, build common ground, the best government is local, and GSD — Get “Stuff” Done. We have many needs across our region and we have opportunities in 2026 to bring back investment and common sense to governance. But it will take a builder, a principled and trustworthy leader that can see the third options and middle ground.
For too long, the Valley and mountains have been left out to dry. No more because mark my words, with your support, I will deliver for District 4.
WHY I'M RUNNING
The truth is no one is coming to save us but ourselves, and every year of my life, I’ve seen politics and civics grow increasingly divisive and dysfunctional, and agendas that have simply gone too far, too top-down, too one-size-fits-all to work for most Californians.
I’m running for State Senate simply to listen, lead, and deliver results on the meat and potato issues that affect all communities. The fundamental ability to build a life, to have our kids come home, to ensure our future is strong.
It’s true that our challenges are daunting from housing insecurity to wildfire to health and educational outcomes. But I’ve seen firsthand how bold leadership with a good amount of fight in them can make a real difference. It is the responsibility of those who can help to step up, and I’m stepping up for all of us.
TRUSTED. PROVEN. ENDORSED.
