“The checks my campaign receives from CALIFORNIA LIST represent so much more than their dollar figure. They say I am part of something bigger, that women are rooting for me. That realization is energizing and inspiring.”

- Ronnie Gail Caplane, Candidate for Assembly


CALIFORNIA LIST is developing effective political strategies to meet our mission and our vision. We protect Democratic women incumbents facing tough-reelections, recruiting strong candidates to run for promising open or swing seats and raising the resources needed to win. CALIFORNIA LIST is paving the way for Democratic women in California to be equally represented.

We can’t accomplish this without YOU! Our members are the backbone of our efforts to elect Democratic women to California state government. With your commitment and belief in our mission, we will fill the pipeline for our candidates and not only bring to an end but reverse the decline of our women elected officials.

CALIFORNIA LIST pools together your contributions. When we bundle funds, we prove ourselves as a force to be taken seriously making ourselves heard loud and clear.

If you are concerned about the face of California state politics, please join CALIFORNIA LIST and help to create a strong, influential network of people who believe in the voices of women.

Through the power of working together, we can keep Democratic women elected in California.
