PROJECT SUPER BLOOM
California’s only PAC founded and led by young people and students, dedicated to electing progressive and visionary candidates to California’s State Legislature.
Our endorsed candidates
Meet the candidates we are working to elect to the CA State Legislature in 2026.
CA State Assembly District 65
As an educator, community organizer, and fierce advocate for environmental justice, Fatima has spent her life fighting for working families, quality education, and a livable future for all. From the classroom in Watts to the halls of the Capitol, she’s led with heart, vision, and bold, people-powered policies.
CA State Assembly District 68
A lifelong Santa Ana resident and daughter of immigrants, Jessie has been a fearless champion for working families on the Santa Ana City Council—leading on affordable housing, environmental justice, and immigrant rights. With lived experience navigating housing insecurity and economic hardship, Jessie brings heart, grit, and unwavering commitment to the fight for a California where everyone can thrive.
CA State Assembly District 12
Jackie Elward is a community leader, educator, labor organizer, and proud immigrant who has dedicated her life to fighting for working families. In 2020, Jackie made history as the first Black woman elected to the Rohnert Park Council. In her time as Councilmember and later as Mayor, Jackie championed affordable housing, expanded services for the unhoused, and led public investments in transportation and clean energy.
California Lieutenant Governor
Michael Tubbs is a visionary leader, educator, and public servant whose life story reflects the promise of California. Rising from poverty in South Stockton to become the city’s youngest mayor, Michael is living proof that young people can lead and deliver real results. As mayor, he championed economic opportunity, launched the nation’s first mayor-led guaranteed income initiative, expanded access to education, advanced a bold green economy, and helped drive down unemployment and violent crime.
OUR JOURNEY
After a fire destroys the land, under very specific conditions, something rare happens. Seeds lay dormant for generations waiting to be shocked into growing by fire. Once the seeds are activated, millions of wildflowers sprout and create a massive, diverse explosion of flowers: a Super Bloom.
This year, the conditions are right. After years of crisis, young Californians are ready to join the fight for justice, and bloom into the movement we need to thrive.

2021
In 2021, a seed was planted and Project Super Bloom was born.
2022
In our first cycle, our tiny seed made a big impact. We hired 100+ high school and college students, made 25,000+ voter contacts, and hosted 50+ canvassing events, sending 7 of our endorsed candidates to Sacramento.
2023
Even in between election years, we continued to grow. Our team of paid youth organizers spent 100s of hours knocking on voters' doors and phone-banking, directly contributing to our endorsed candidates making it through the Primary.
2024
In 2024, we bloomed. We elected 6 progressives to the California Legislature. Our victory is a testament to the power of grassroots organizing. Every call our fellows made, every door they knocked, and every conversation they had contributed to electing leaders who reflect our values. Together, we proved that unity behind a shared vision for justice can bring real change.
Our Future
With our slate of candidates now heading to office, we have an even stronger foundation in California to continue pushing for the transformative change we believe in. Our fight for equality, climate justice, and racial justice is still very much alive on and off election cycles.
We’ve made it this far – now, let’s keep moving forward.
