JEFFREY MARTIN
Independent veteran for California's 25th District — a new tier of leadership that understands rising prices and local community needs without the filter of party machines or lobbyist agendas. Accountable to people, not parties.
Operational Background
The Case for Independence
"I'm running as an independent because I've never trusted either party to own my voice. When I filled out my Selective Service card at 18, I didn't pick a party. Back then it was just a gut feeling."
The Core Problem
"Our democracy works best when anyone from our communities can step up and run — not just people with famous last names or big donors behind them."

Where He Stands
Priorities for California's 25th District
National Security
Prioritizing smart usage of American power abroad while ensuring the safety of domestic interests and strategic defense.
Economic Reach
Directing federal dollars into San Jacinto and the Coachella corridor to counter inflation and local economic stagnation.
Public Integrity
Fortifying Social Security, healthcare, and veterans' benefits for the most vulnerable members of the Inland Empire.
The Race
Why It Matters
-
Real representation for CA-25 — answerable to constituents, not party machines or lobbyist agendas.
-
A veteran prioritizing VA care reform and mental-health suicide-prevention initiatives.
-
An independent free of political dynasties — advocating nonpartisan open primaries and fair debate access.
The Opportunity
California's 25th has been shaped by legacy politics and heavy outside-lobby influence. Martin offers voters an independent, veteran-led alternative — running through California's top-two primary on June 2, 2026, toward the November 3 general election.
