"I'm not running to be more of the same. I'm running because our community deserves a council member who is actually listening."

— Jonathan St. Clair

Rooted in Orange.
Ready to Lead.

Jonathan St. Clair has called Orange home since 2001. Over the past 25 years, he's built his life, his career, and his family here. His wife owns a business in the city. His kids go to school in the Orange Unified School District. When he coaches South Sunrise Little League, he's coaching neighborhood kids — kids he knows by name. This is not a political stepping stone. This is home.

Jonathan is a smart, savvy businessman who understands what it takes to run an organization, manage resources, and deliver results. He brings that same discipline and accountability to everything he does — whether it's building a company, leading a nonprofit, or standing up for his community.

Jonathan is the co-founder of the Jasper Ray Foundation for Drowning Prevention and Child Safety, an Orange-based nonprofit dedicated to raising money for swim lessons and water safety education. The foundation reflects his belief that a strong community takes care of its most vulnerable — and that every child in Orange deserves the chance to be safe.

He serves on the board of the National Drowning Prevention Alliance and recently organized and presented at their annual international water safety conference — bringing national expertise, relationships, and credibility home to Orange. He is also a proud member of Elks Lodge 1475, one of Orange's great civic institutions.

Jonathan has watched Orange for a long time — and he believes the city can do better. Not better in theory, but better in practice: more responsive government, smarter growth, safer streets, and a City Hall that actually listens to the people it serves. He's already out in the community, talking with residents and business owners, gathering input before making promises.

If you have thoughts on what District 1 needs, he wants to hear from you. Send him a message.
