Reginald Byron Jones-Sawyer, Sr. is an American politician currently serving in the California State Assembly. He is a Democrat representing the 59th Assembly District, which encompasses portions of South Los Angeles, the neighborhoods of Florence-Graham and Walnut Park, and a part of Huntington Park.
We need to continue to make California’s criminal justice system more fair, just, and transparent, including reducing our state’s overcrowded prison population, combatting the school-to-prison pipeline for so many young people of color and cracking down on excessive acts of violence from law enforcement officials. Additionally, I believe local law enforcement needs to be supported and I will work to provide the necessary resources to tackle violent crime.
