As a retired educator, and life-long Democrat, I have been a member of the Sacramento Women's Democratic Club for many years.  As a past school board candidate, I was endorsed by the Women's Dems and have also participated in the club's candidate endorsements of various Sacramento Area races, so I am excited to serve as the club's Political Affairs Director again for 2026-2027.  I have a strong background and connection to Labor, having served several years as President. PAC Chair, Bargaining Chair, and Secretary of my local teacher's association here in Sacramento.  I earned degrees at UC Davis (undergrad), University of California (Master's in Education), and CSU Sacramento (teaching credentials), and am dedicated to volunteerism, community service, and electing great women democrats as well as those who are advocates and champions of democracy and women's rights.
