The purpose of the Marin Women's Political Action Committee is to increase women's participation in the political process and to identify, recruit, train and support pro-choice candidates for election and appointment to public office. While in pursuit of this goal, MWPAC will strive to win equality for all women: to ensure reproductive freedom; to achieve quality care for dependents; and to eradicate sexism, racism, anti-Semitism, ageism, violence, poverty, and discrimination on the basis of disability, religion or sexual orientation.

Membership in the MWPAC is open to anyone, without regard to ethnicity, sex, national origin, age, economic status, or sexual orientation, who supports the purposes and goals of the organization.

MWPAC Endorses Susan Adams for Congress

The MWPAC has endorsed Marin County Supervisor Susan Adams for the 2nd District Congressional seat.
At its Endorsement meeting, held Monday, April 9, eight candidates vied for the honor. It was a challenging evening because some of the candidates had to travel for several hours since the new district reaches up to the Oregon border, but they were a peppy bunch and ready to shake things up in Washington.

The candidates were serious and brought their "A" game. We only wish there was more than one seat available. Our next endorsement night, for the Assembly, Supervisors and other races will be held Monday, April 23 at the San Rafael City Council chambers at 7 p.m.

March 23rd--Elected Women's Luncheon at The Club at McInnis- A Big Success.

Some 90 movers and shakers from around the county flocked to The Club at McInnis Park to hear Assembly Speaker Pro Tempore Fiona Ma and newly appointed County Supervisor Katie Rice, as well as gab with fellow politicos and political junkies, and eat pasta, prawns or London Broil.

Being an election year, there might have been more electricity in the air than usual, but there's no getting around the fact the politicos love to talk with one another, catching up on the latest news, networking, and in general, having a good time. Sixteen young women student leaders from Dominican University, College of Marin and Terra Linda High School were honored guests and received personalized proclamations from Assemblyman Jared Huffman and State Senator Mark Leno. Several of the girls said they were encouraged by The Honorable Fiona Ma's story about how she was destined for a career in business, but found politics more compelling. Supervisor Rice talked about the inspiration she received from working for the late Supervisor Hal Brown.

The luncheon is a fundraiser for MWPAC and a raffle brought in an extra $200 which is earmarked for the political action fund.
