As a geoscientist, activist, and single mother, Roza Calderon knows that we need leaders who represent real people’s needs over party interests. That means combating climate change, fighting for Medicare for All, and building an inclusive economy - not because it’s popular, because it’s the right thing to do for California’s 4th District.
Raised in the “All-American City” of Lincoln, CA, she planted her roots and is raising her family in Congressional District 4. Roza values hard work and understands the importance of restoring the faith in the American Dream. She is dedicated to standing up for working, blue-collar families to secure their livelihoods. The American Dream is rooted in the ideas that every child deserves equal opportunity to excel and that individuals who work hard should have a fair shot to get ahead, no matter where they started in life.
We are a nation united by civic values. These beliefs help build our national character and our economy. When we provide equal opportunity for all, our economy does better for everyone. Roza will fight for every Californian and American to make sure the American Dream is there for the next generation and many more to come.

ONE OF US, REPRESENTING US
I have devoted my free time advocating for the less fortunate. I’ve served on the Board of Directors, serving as the Chairperson of the Policy Council for KidZKount, a non-profit organization that focuses on early childhood education. From 2009-2011, I helped promote legislation for the Head Start Program and traveled through the region meeting the parents and children, learning their needs, their passions, their dreams, and finding ways to help them achieve them.
I have been an outspoken advocate for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) programs, mentoring at public schools and volunteering with “Girls Who Code”, mentoring and teaching future generations of female software engineers.
I am a proud mother of one 13-year-old girl, and emphasizes the importance of volunteering and being a servant leader. My daughter and I spend much of our free-time and weekends removing invasive species from our state parks, volunteering at homeless shelters, and engaging in in other forms of community service.
