CALIFORNIA LIST provides information on pro-choice Democratic candidates running in California state elections as well as those currently elected to office. It also offers members an opportunity to support The CALIFORNIA LIST endorsed candidates.

To be endorsed by CALIFORNIA LIST, candidates must be a pro-choice Democratic woman running for state-level office in California. In addition, they must have strong name recognition in their community, the ability to fundraise, and campaign experience. Candidates must also agree to various criteria including mentoring and preparing pro-choice Democratic women if elected.

Women make up more than half of California’s population but in our state legislature, men outnumber them by nearly three to one. Because of term limits, the number of elected women could decrease dramatically. CALIFORNIA LIST strives to elect and keep Democratic women in state politics so that women’s voices are equally represented in California state government. It is a fact that women legislators tend to support issues beneficial to women and children.
