Jackie Wu

Jackie Wu is an experienced consultant who specializes in nonprofit advocacy, civic engagement, communications, and grant writing. She has been featured on NPR, Los Angeles Times, and CalMatters and has provided presentations and workshops on voting and the election process to numerous local and statewide organizations.

Prior to starting J Wu Consulting, Jackie worked as the Community Outreach Manager for the Orange County Registrar of Voters where she oversaw the translation of election materials in 9 languages, election worker training, pop-up voting, social media, media, legislation, and outreach to approximately 2 million voters in the fifth largest voting jurisdiction in the United States. Following the highly controversial and scrutinized 2020 General Election, Jackie felt deeply impacted by the false accusations of voting and election fraud that sought to undermine voting rights. She experienced an epiphany after the January 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection, which Jackie felt called to utilize her experiences and knowledge to play a more direct role in empowering historically excluded communities to realize their political power and potential.

Jackie's past work experiences include working for the City of Palos Verdes Estates, Orange County Asian & Pacific Islander Community Alliance (OCAPICA), and the California State Senate. Having worked in nonprofit advocacy and government agencies of differing levels enables her to develop innovative and resourceful solutions with multiple perspectives.  

A daughter of Chinese Vietnamese refugees, Jackie is a graduate of UC Irvine with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and holds a certificate in Advanced Public Engagement for Local Government from Pepperdine University and in Applied Compassion from Stanford University. She was raised in the San Gabriel Valley and resides in Orange County, CA.
