Jacqui V Irwin

Affordability / Cost of Living

Prioritizes reducing costs for working families as a top campaign issue.

News coverage of the District 26 race, including the Camarillo Acorn's report on candidate positions, identifies affordability as a central theme Irwin has campaigned on.

Climate Change / Environment

Supports action to address climate change, including reducing methane emissions.

Irwin participated in a candidate debate covering climate policy, and related reporting on California's need to curb landfill methane leaks suggests environmental issues are part of her platform given her prior legislative record on climate.

Immigration

Has staked out a position on immigration policy discussed in candidate debates, though specifics are unclear from available data.

Immigration was a topic addressed at a candidate forum in Oxnard where Irwin and opponents debated the issue directly.

Foreign Policy / War

Addressed questions on U.S. involvement in international conflicts during a candidate debate.

Reporting indicates war and foreign policy were debated among District 26 candidates, including Irwin, but her specific stance is not detailed in available grounding.

General Election Positioning

Positioned as a leading candidate appealing to independent voters in a competitive district.

Coverage from IVN and the Ventura County Star shows Irwin leading in the primary and notes that independent voters across areas like the Palisades and Simi Valley will be pivotal in the general election.

District Representation / Legacy Seat

Running to succeed outgoing Rep. Julia Brownley, likely continuing similar Democratic-aligned policy priorities.

The Los Angeles Times' district guide frames the race as the battle for Julia Brownley's seat, suggesting Irwin is campaigning to continue Brownley's general policy direction.
