Hope, Hard Work, and Helping Hands

As his Zepeda for Senate campaign stated, Jaime's story is a story of hope, hard work & helping hands. Jaime Raul Zepeda grew up in Mexico in a working-class neighborhood. Jaime saw vicious inequality there. Mercedes parked in front of women starving. Law enforcement hired as security for the wealthy. A destiny determined by your last name. Moving up was not a dream, it was a fantasy.

At 17 he left Mexico, alone, for America. For years, he hustled to pay for housing, food, and healthcare. Through that hustle, hope, and the help of his friends and family, Jaime now helps people who, like him, struggled to survive. He advises non-profits helping thousands of low-income students prosper in California. He helps FORTUNE 500 companies build people-first businesses. He mobilizes people and resources to help people experiencing homelessness, survivors of domestic violence, Black and brown youth in need of mentorship, and the undocumented community. The list goes on. I hope this episode inspires you to share your voice, share your story, and lean into hope.
