We also need champions who will fight to invest in the health and well-being of all Californians, especially the most vulnerable. Through his leadership as President of Equality California Institute, Juan has demonstrated that he will be a strong voice for equality and justice for all — that is why our Caucus is proud to support him.”

We are confident that Juan will be a powerful champion for equality, justice, and reproductive freedom in the State Senate."

California State Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara
“This race is deeply personal to me, as I was born and raised in this district. We are currently witnessing the persecution and targeting of our LGBTQ community and immigrants. Like Juan, I understand what it feels like to be different and feel vulnerable. Now, more than ever, we need leaders from our community to step up and guide us through these challenging times. Both Juan and I are proud children of immigrant parents who instilled in us the values of hard work and sacrifice. We need selfless leaders like Juan to stand against the establishment and protect the California dream for all immigrants, dreamers, working families, and the most vulnerable members of our society. I'm excited to support his campaign.”

California State Treasurer Fiona Ma
“Juan Camacho has dedicated his life to fighting for justice and opportunity for all. In the entertainment industry, he has worked to create good-paying union jobs and help small businesses grow — work that I deeply appreciate as a SAG-AFTRA member. As President of Equality California Institute, Juan has fought to improve the lives of LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, and communities of color. In the State Senate, I know that Juan will be a champion for our California values and for an economy that works for everyone.”

Assembly Democratic Caucus Chair Rick Chavez Zbur
“Juan Camacho is the right leader at the right time to fight for our communities in the State Senate, and I could not be prouder to support his campaign. I’ve known Juan for a decade and have watched him work tirelessly to advance civil rights at Equality California, defend our immigrant communities, and help create union construction and entertainment jobs here in Los Angeles. I am confident that Juan will bring that same courage, compassion, and determination to the State Senate, and I urge my neighbors to join me in voting for him.”

Assembly Majority Whip Mark González
“As a proud immigrant and civil rights leader raised in a working-class family, my friend Juan Camacho knows what it means to struggle, to fight for a seat at the table, and to never forget where you come from. He has the heart, the experience, and the drive to deliver real results for working families in the State Senate. Our communities deserve a relentless champion—someone who reflects our values and puts people before politics. I’m proud to endorse Juan Camacho and look forward to standing with him to move Los Angeles—and all of California—forward.”

“Juan Camacho approaches public service the way lawmakers should — focused on what works, guided by our values, and always accountable to the people we serve. He understands that protecting civil rights, lowering costs for working families, and growing our local economy aren’t competing goals — they go hand in hand. Juan brings results-oriented mindset to the tough challenges facing California, and he knows how to build coalitions to get things done. I’m proud to endorse Juan Camacho for State Senate and look forward to serving with him.”

Juan is ready to lead on day one, and I’m proud to endorse him.”

As a civil rights advocate, an immigrant, and a champion for working families, Juan will bring the urgency and empathy we need in Sacramento. I’m proud to support him for State Senate.”

Assemblymember Marc Berman

Juan has spent his career creating good-paying jobs, advancing civil rights, and fighting to make housing and healthcare more affordable. I’m proud to endorse Juan Camacho for State Senate because I know he’ll bring people together to deliver real solutions for all Californians."

Assemblymember Matt Haney
“Juan Camacho is exactly the kind of values-driven leader we need in the Legislature. He has fought tirelessly to expand opportunity, protect working families, and create good-paying union jobs that lift people into the middle class. And Juan’s experience as an immigrant and civil rights leader have uniquely prepared him to stand up to the Trump Administration and fight for our California values. I'm proud to support Juan's campaign and look forward to working with him in Sacramento.”

Assemblymember Chris Ward
“Juan Camacho has shown up for working families, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ people not just when it’s popular, but when it’s hard. He brings the lived experience, empathy, and backbone we need in the State Senate to defend our progress and deliver results for California families.

Chaffey Community College Board Vice President and Former Congresswoman and State Senator Gloria Negrete McLeod
"I have known Juan Camacho for many years since his early days as a college intern in my Assembly office. As an intern, in public service, as an LGBTQ civil rights leader, and now as a candidate for State Senate, Juan has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to public service and social justice. He has dedicated his career to serving working families, immigrants, students, and underserved communities. The 26th District would benefit greatly from his leadership in Sacramento.”

Los Angeles County Assessor Jeff Prang
“I am proud to endorse Juan Camacho for State Senate District 26. I have known Juan for years, and he is a principled, thoughtful leader whose work advancing equality and civil rights has already improved the lives of LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, and working families across California. He understands the complex challenges facing our communities — from housing affordability to economic justice and opportunity — and he has the vision and tenacity needed to deliver meaningful solutions. Juan will be an effective partner for L.A. County in the State Senate, and I am excited to support his campaign.”

Former Palm Springs Mayor & City Councilmember Lisa Middleton
“Juan’s leadership at Equality California Institute has made a real difference not only for LGBTQ+ people across our state, but also for immigrants, workers, women, communities of color, and all Californians. He is the kind of bridge-builder and problem-solver who will move California forward, and I am proud to support his campaign.”

Civil Rights Leader Stuart Milk
“Serving alongside Juan Camacho on the Equality California Institute Board, I’ve seen firsthand his deep commitment to justice, inclusion, and authentic leadership. Juan brings Harvey’s belief that ‘hope will never be silent’ into every room he enters — lifting up immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, working families and all those who have been pushed to the margins. In the State Senate, I know Juan will be a powerful, compassionate voice for our diverse communities and a tireless champion for full, lived equality for every Californian.”
