WomenCount Electing Women Alliance

California State Legislative Champions

Join Electing Women Bay Area in supporting women running for competitive state legislative seats!

California is on the cusp of gender parity, with 59 women out of 120 legislators currently serving. However, if we don’t act this cycle, it is more likely that women will lose overall seats in 2026 than gain the one seat needed to become the world’s only major economy run by women. Given California’s unique top-two primary system, these candidates need our support now to make it on the ballot in November and ensure their campaigns have the strength to win these critical seats.

We need to win 9 seats to achieve parity, so please consider supporting all 12 women running in competitive races.
