Sacramento's Trailblazing Political Women


Last November's election resulted in a female majority on the nine-member Sacramento City Council, only the second time this has ever occurred (first female majority achieved in 1992). Congratulations to the new female majority: Mai Vang (Mayor Pro Tem), Lisa Kaplan (Dist.1), Katrina Talamantes (Dist. 3) Katie Valenzuela (Dist. 4) and Caity Maple (Dist. 5)! Look for a renewed commitment from this female majority to social services, housing, education, child care, parks and recreation, historic preservation, the arts and the environment
Read about the women that made political history and blazed the trail for this election's candidates.
P.S. If you are thinking about becoming a leader yourself, make sure to read Chapter 10.
