The 11th Assembly District covers all of Solano County and small parts of Sacramento and Contra Costa counties. Its Nov. 3 race is a rematch. Democratic Assemblymember Lori Wilson is seeking a third full term. Jenny Leilani Callison, who has no party preference and is listed on the ballot as a "Legislative Consultant," challenged Wilson as an independent in 2022 and won 40.8% of the vote, according to the Vallejo Sun.

The clearest split: California Forever

Both candidates phoned into the Solano County Board of Supervisors meeting on Aug. 25. That day the board considered legislation that would have let California Forever use a nearly 20-year-old environmental report to build a shipbuilding facility in Collinsville.

  • Wilson urged a yes vote. She called the plan "an important opportunity for Solano County" for jobs and "potentially a renewed maritime industry." After the board postponed the vote, she said she would let the county take the lead.
  • Callison urged a no vote. "We should not excuse an environmental impact review for a group that can hire high paid lobbyists if we wouldn't also excuse an environmental impact review for a mom and pop business," she said.

Who they are

Wilson won a 2022 special election to replace Jim Frazier and then won a full term. The Sun points to her AB 2319 (implicit bias training for prenatal and childbirth caregivers) and ACA 8 (no discipline for incarcerated people who refuse work assignments). She has also proposed a temporary ban on police use of wearable electroshock devices. She backed Proposition 50.

Callison served in the Army from 2002 to 2006. She then worked for the Assembly and Senate Military and Veterans Affairs committees from 2011 to 2025. On her YouTube show she calls herself a "mostly libertarian-leaning conservative," and she opposed Prop 50.

Neither candidate responded to the Sun's interview requests.

The money gap

As of early September, the Sun reported, Wilson had raised $877,436 and Callison $4,645. In the June 2 primary, Wilson took 65.3% and Callison 23.6%, according to Ballotpedia. A second independent, Rochelle Conner, took 11.1%.
