Congressman Jerry McNerney was sworn into office on January 4, 2007. He is proud to represent California’s 9th District, which includes a large portion of San Joaquin County in the Central Valley as well as parts of Contra Costa and Sacramento Counties.
McNerney was inspired to run for Congress by his son Michael, who in response to the attacks of September 11, sought and received a commission in the Air Force. Michael suggested that his Dad serve his country by running for Congress. With a deep sense of duty and his family’s support, McNerney began his journey to Congress.
"I am proud to support those who served our country in the military. The contributions they make to our lives cannot be overstated. My son Michael joined the service shortly after 9/11, and caring for our men and women in uniform is a deep personal priority. Please be in touch for assistance with veterans issues and to share your comments and concerns." - Congressman Jerry McNerney
