The political pipeline in action

EMILY’s List backed rising star Karen Bass when she made history as the first Democratic woman to serve as speaker of the California State Assembly in 2008. This progressive trailblazer is the perfect candidate to succeed retiring Cong. Diane Watson.

A strong voice for California’s families

Bass’ strong record on behalf of women and families includes measures to reform foster care, improve public education, and boost funding for at-risk youth. As California’s economy struggles, those families need her voice – and determination – in Congress.

Vote of Confidence

Bass has the backing of Watson, along with Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Cong. Maxine Waters and L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. After winning the Democratic nomination with a decisive 85% of the vote, Bass will now face Republican James Andion in this overwhelmingly Democratic district.
