Jonathan Wagoner Launches Run for Congress in California’s 26th District to Unite Ventura County
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 31, 2025
Camarillo, CA – Jonathan Wagoner, a first-time candidate with deep local roots, is officially running for Congress in California’s 26th District—driven by a mission to bring people together, cut through the noise, and finally give Ventura County a voice in Washington that reflects everyone, not just a political party.
“This isn’t about left or right—it’s about real people,” Wagoner said.
“It’s about seniors trying to stay in their homes, small businesses trying to stay alive, and families trying to make a life here. I’m stepping up because I’m tired of watching Ventura County be overlooked by someone who votes party first, people second.”
Wagoner isn’t a career politician—he’s someone who’s lived the ups and downs of real life in Ventura County—building a business, raising a family, and staying committed to the people around him. What sets him apart is not just his passion, but his purpose: uniting a divided district and restoring faith that leadership can still serve everyone.
After reviewing the current incumbent’s voting record, Wagoner says the decision to run became clear.
“The votes being cast in Washington don’t reflect the voice of Ventura County. They reflect a party agenda. That’s not good enough—not anymore.”
His campaign priorities include:
- Making housing more affordable, especially for seniors and working families
- Creating real opportunities for local small businesses to grow and thrive
- Restoring unity by working across party lines and focusing on solutions, not sides
“This district is full of people who care about their neighbors, who work hard, and who want better for their kids. It’s time we had someone in Washington who feels the same—and fights for them every single day.”
Wagoner is calling on voters from all walks of life to get involved. With no big machine behind him, the campaign is powered by people—those ready for a fresh start, real representation, and a leader who truly knows what it means to live and work in Ventura County.
