Video: Meet California State Senator Jerry McNerney

Hailing from California’s 5th District, State Senator Jerry McNerney was inspired to run for office by his son, who joined the military shortly after 9/11. His favorite thing about being a legislator is helping people in his community.

The biggest lesson McNerney has learned during his time in office is the importance of learning about a wide range of issues. One thing he wishes people knew about his job is that most elected officials want the best for their communities.

If McNerney could have lunch with any elected official, he would choose Jerry Brown, the former Governor of California.
