Another Cali First!

Congratulations to Karen Bass who has now become
the first African American women to hold the position
of speaker of the house for the California Assembly.
Oh yes, the strides we are achieving in politics.


California lawmakers elected Democrat Karen Bass as the next Assembly speaker on Thursday, making her the first black woman to hold the powerful position.

"This is an amazing, amazing moment," Bass, 54, of Los Angeles, said after the voice vote. "Thank you so much for your vote of faith and confidence in me as your next speaker."

Bass was elected to the 80-member chamber in 2004 and is known for writing legislation on child welfare and social justice issues.

She will work alongside Speaker Fabian Nunez, also a Los Angeles Democrat, before making the full transition into the role later this year.
