Step Up to Run

WOMEN TAKING CHARGE: With women making historic strides in the political realm, this book is timely and emblematic of our current environment.

DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES: Recounts the story of five women, from diverse backgrounds and communities across the state of California; some are LGBTQ, some are moms, some are millennials, some are women of color etc.

THE WORLD OF POLITICS: the book not only covers these women’s personal stories on the campaign trail, it delves deep into the lessons they learned in the political sphere, and the advice they would give to other potential female candidates.

TRIBUTE TO WOMEN: With a foreword from California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis, the book illustrates that, as women, although we don’t always win, being on the ballot can, in itself, be worthwhile.
