Susan Diamond: We need more women, like Virginia Madueno, in Congress
There is an amazing opportunity here in California Congressional District 10. We can send an experienced, articulate, principled and strong woman to represent our needs for healthcare, responsible regulations to protect water, food and drugs; to fight for education, a sane immigration policy, climate change and protecting Social Security and Medicare and to be our voice in support of infrastructure.
Virginia Madueno is an extraordinary choice. She was a local mayor and has worked with many community groups and concerns. To choose a strong woman this year to give women more than 17 percent representation in the House is vital!
Look who were key in getting the government shutdown to begin to resolve – it was two women, senators Amy Klobuchar and Susan Collins. The males were getting stuck with little willingness to negotiate. Support Virginia Madueno!
