SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA – Today, Assemblyman Jordan Cunningham announced that he has received the endorsement of IBEW Local 1245, the union representing over 100 local units of line workers of PG&E and other power companies.

“As the Central Coast’s Assemblyman, Jordan has made a habit of working across party lines to better our community,” said Tom Dalzell, IBEW Local 1245 Business Manager. “Jordan’s ability to pass critically important pieces of legislation, like securing permanent funding for Career Technical Education and passing SB 1090, shows his commitment to growing job training and protecting our economy.”

Cunningham was first elected to the Assembly in 2016. In his first term in the Legislature, he has been recognized for his leadership in combating human trafficking, and supporting Career Technical Education.

Cunningham recently co-authored SB 1090, the groundbreaking, bipartisan legislation that mitigates the closure of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant and ensures the plant has the staffing levels needed to continue to run the plan through its 2025 closure date.

After graduating from Atascadero High School, Cunningham graduated from Point Loma Nazarene University with a degree in physics. He then obtained his law degree from the University of California, Berkeley.

Prior to serving in the Assembly, Cunningham worked as an attorney in private practice, as a federal law clerk, and an attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice. He later returned home to become a Deputy District Attorney in the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney’s Office. He now represents individuals, families, and local businesses as the owner and founder of Cunningham Law Group.

Assembly District 35 encompasses all of San Luis Obispo County and a portion of Santa Barbara County, including the cities of Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Paso Robles, Grover Beach, Lompoc, Morro Bay, Pismo Beach, Templeton, San Luis Obispo, Santa Maria, and surrounding communities.

Cunningham lives in San Luis Obispo County with his wife, Shauna, and their four children.
