News Video: California on track to have 50 women serve in Legislature

A record 50 women are on track to serve in California's Legislature following the 2022 midterm elections. According to the most recent updates from the California Secretary of State’s Office, women have already outstripped the current record total of 39 seats in the state Assembly and Senate and they are poised to take hold of 50 seats.

At the current pace, 42% of the 120 seats in both houses will be held by women when the new Legislature convenes on Dec. 5.

"We made a concerted effort to achieve gender parity," said state Sen. Nancy Skinner, (D-Berkeley), vice chair of the California Legislative Women’s Caucus.
