Over the last decade, Close the Gap has recruited community-driven, progressive women like Senator Caroline Menjivar and coached them to victory in California’s still male-dominated political landscape.
And as of today, 26 Close the Gap women have already stepped up to run for an open or flippable seat in the California Legislature next year!
Now, we're hard at work recruiting for 2026! Your support today will ensure that accomplished women can capture the Motherlode’s once-in-a-generation opportunity to lead the way forward and finally achieve parity in the California Legislature.
Will you make your annual contribution to Close the Gap today and power our fight for legislative parity in our 2026 recruiting cycle?
