Now Is The Time To Elect More Women

Published July 17, 2014 | By Bettina Duval, Founder, CALIFORNIALIST

A few weeks ago I traveled with the Center for Democracy in the Americas to Cuba on a fact finding trip to learn about current events in Cuba with a special focus on women and the challenges they face. As Cuba addresses its complex and immense economic issues facing their country, women are part of the dialogue.

In Cuba, the statistics tell compelling stories in several areas on gender equality. There are 612 Members of Cuba’s National Assembly, and 299 of them (48.8%) are women. Women also chair four of the body’s ten committees. Sitting in a room with all the women who serve in the Cuban Assembly was profoundly moving. When I listened to the women outline their priorities, it became clear that having women in power does matter.

One Race, One Day

Published June 6, 2014 | By Bettina Duval, Founder, CALIFORNIALIST

It’s been a busy race schedule! Last weekend my daughter was competing in the NCAA rowing championship for UC Berkeley and she won the gold medal in the Women’s 4! Her hard work paid off just as many of the CALIFORNIALIST candidates won their races Tuesday. Assembly candidate Jacqui Irwin not only won her primary, but her daughter won a NCAA silver medal in the 2V rowing for Princeton! Whether rowing for a national championship, or running for political office, it all comes down to one race, one day.

There is work to be done in the next five months and we can’t take anything for granted if we want to see Democratic women serving in our state legislature. This primary election was an important one for the future of women representatives in California. We continue to face a declining number of elected women, and so supporting those who have advanced to the general election on November 4 is vital to our mission.

Off to the Races

Published May 30, 2014 | By Bettina Duval, Founder, CALIFORNIALIST

My daughter rows on the CAL crew team, and this weekend is the NCAA National Competition in Indianapolis, Go Bears!

Being chosen for such an elite team is quite an accomplishment considering last year at this time she just had hip surgery. It’s been a long, difficult journey, and I am of course very proud of her, her teammates, coaches and everyone who has supported them along the way.

Like rowing, running for political office is a team sport. And for California political candidates, next week is a critical step in their championship journey to political office.

Tuesday, June 3, Californians will head to the polls for the primary election.

Meet the 2014 Candidates

Published April 10, 2014 | By Bettina Duval, Founder, CALIFORNIALIST

You would think that a woman’s right to birth control would be safe.  With the pending Supreme Court decision on birth control, this case shows that our rights as women are never safe. The best way to protect our rights is to elect pro-choice Democratic women!

Since 2010 when the GOP took full control of 25 legislatures and 29 governor’s offices, Republicans have advanced a right-wing agenda in those states and taken aim at women and minorities. In state after state, they have used their majorities and control to challenge federal legislative authority, to severely limit women’s access to reproductive care, to block implementation of the Affordable Care Act and to suppress voter turnout with new laws designed to harass and intimidate voters.

Winning in Sochi and Sacramento

Published February 21, 2014 | By Bettina Duval, Founder, CALIFORNIALIST

Watching the Olympics I am reminded that running for office is like being a professional athlete. It takes training, financial support and dedication to run, but in the end it all comes down to one race, one day.

CALILFORNIALIST is dedicated to giving pro-choice, Democratic women the training and support to run a competitive race and finish first on Election Day.

We have endorsed four excellent candidates in their 2014 bid for Assembly:

  • Elizabeth Echols is the leading contender for the Assembly in District 15 (Berkeley, Oakland). This seat is currently held by Nancy Skinner, who will be termed out this year. Elizabeth trained with EMERGE, and she is well prepared to win.

Resolutions for 2014

Published January 29, 2014 | By Bettina Duval, Founder, CALIFORNIALIST

The New Year always feels like a fresh start – new goals, new ideas, and a desire to aim higher and achieve more. You may have made a New Year’s resolution. We’ve made four:

1. Grow our political fundraising network to support Democratic women running for State legislature in California.
2. Partner with other women’s organizations to recruit women candidates for 2016.
3. Connect a network of male and female leaders and political organizations to support qualified female candidates.
4. Ask every woman in California to look at herself and her network, identify a potential leader and ask her to run.
