Close the Gap California We are closing the gender gap in the California Legislature by recruiting progressive women to run.

To identify and recruit great women, we are partnering with women's organizations in the progressive advocacy communities focused on fighting poverty and the wage gap, fighting to improve our public schools, and working to ensure affordable access to healthcare for women and their families. We also collaborate with women's civic and political organizations. Our goal: to recruit policy-minded progr

essive women to run for open seats between 2022 and 2028! Women are 48 percent of the California State Legislature today.

On the , every single seat counts.

In addition to protecting the ground we’ve gained with our incumbent women, just 16 open and swing contests will decide if we reach parity in November.

Nearly half of those races to watch are uphill battles in swing districts. That’s why CTG worked harder this cycle than ever to drive up opportunity in purple districts and ensure women are in place to capitalize on a possible blue wave!

Close the Gap Catalyst hosted a Post Election Briefing zoom yesterday.

Mara Elliott , CTG class of 2026 for SD 40, spoke about why she decided to run, "I looked at my community and asked myself, 'If I don't do it will someone else do it? And the answer was no.'"

Thank you for running and winning your primary!
