Go Jackie, Go!
Jackie Speier was sworn in yesterday after an overwhelming victory in Tuesday's special congressional election. Speier secured the seat in the U.S. House of Representatives with 77 percent of the vote, avoiding a run-off in the race to finish Rep. Tom Lantos' term, giving a good indication that Speier will be reelected in November.
With ten years in the CA Assembly and eight years in the CA Senate, Speier has been a powerful policy maker with a deep dedication to women's rights here in California. I can't wait to see what she does for us in D.C.!
I am so excited! We need 100 more women legislators like Jackie!
