| Info | Gerald Mark "Jerry" McNerney
Jerry McNerney and his family moved to Northern California in 1990 and has lived on both sides of the Altamont. For 16 years, he served in the U.S. Congress, representing the communities that he knows and loves. Before entering politics, Jerry earned a PhD in Mathematics and became an entrepreneur in the clean energy industry for 20 years. Jerry helped develop much of the wind energy technology that graces our Altamont Hills, reducing carbon emissions and creating good-paying local jobs.
He was inspired to run for office by his son, who joined the Air Force after 9/11. Ever since he entered public service, Jerry has been a leader for our veterans. As our Representative, he secured over $400 million federal dollars for the design & construction of the Stockton full-service VA Clinic and Victory Gardens nursing home, authored a law that improves VA care for traumatic brain injuries, and provided countless local veterans with the most responsive services possible.
Along with putting our veterans first, Jerry has brought home billions of dollars for our healthcare system, our first responders, and our local economy. Through his work on the Inflation Reduction Act, the CHIPs Act, and other key legislation, our communities gained greater access to broadband Internet and clean energy. Jerry helped kickstart the ValleyLink commuter rail system, brought money to fix our crumbling roads and railways, while fighting hard to block the Delta Tunnels and protect our water resources. Jerry also believes in building safe, healthy communities. He repeatedly secured federal funds to hire more local police officers, expand youth programs and women’s health centers, and protect thousands of school employees from layoffs during the pandemic.
After leaving Congress, Jerry emerged as one of California’s leading experts in the rapidly changing world of tech policy. He currently works as a Fellow at Stanford University’s Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence and a Senior Policy Advisor at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, with both roles focused on ensuring that AI benefits our society economically and doesn't displace workers.
Now, Jerry McNerney is running for State Senate to continue serving the communities he cherishes. Jerry has lived, worked, and served in Congress for both sides of the Altamont. He is uniquely qualified to represent every District 5 family.
