Meet Jake
A Pima County resident since 7th grade, Jake has always valued community service and worked hard to give back to the community he loves. At the age of 18, Jake founded the Survivor Shield Foundation, one of the first nonprofits in the State Of Arizona to provide emergency relief financial aid to survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. In just two years of leading Survivor Shield, he has transformed it into one of the highest rated sexual assault service providers in Arizona, offering a multitude of programs that directly serve hundreds of our neighbors in need. Jake has been the one to respond to domestic violence and sexual assault, he has seen the direct impact of the lack of accessible social services in our community, the impact of the fentanyl crisis, and the damage done when the government looks the other way. As a business founder, a job creator, and a social worker, Jake has a plethora of hands-on experience serving our community. A committed advocate for Democratic values, helping those in need, and building a better Pima County, Jake is ready to serve.
