CALIFORNIA LIST - a political network to elect Democratic women to California state government

Elected Officials

There are 33 women legislators in the California state legislature (27 Democrats and 6 Republicans).
Debra Bowen, Secretary of State, is the sixth woman to be elected to the Executive Branch of California’s state government.
Karen Bass, Speaker of the California Assembly, is the first African American woman to be elected to this position.
Democrats Betty Yee and Republican Michelle Steel, serve on the Board of Equalization.
In 2010, 7 women legislators will be lost to term limits (5 Democrats, 2 Republicans).

Due to the potential passage of Proposition 11, the Redistricting Inititive to take effect in 2011, our statistics may change before the term limits are up.

For informational purposes, this is a complete list of women elected officials, both Democrats and Republicans:
