Gettin' it done for NWPC LA Westside. We're making some noise to get more women in elected & appointed office. With my political sister Karriann Farrell Hinds - with Karriann Farrell Hinds at California State Capitol-West Steps

Carolyn Ramsay for City Council

Carolyn Ramsey, "This morning I was thrilled when California State Contoller Betty Yee made a surprise endorsement for my campaign at the National Women's Political Caucus breakfast. In addition to being the most prominent Asian-American woman elected to office in California, Betty has been a champion for government transparency and a strong fiscal watchdog for our state for years. As a Councilmember, I'll also focus on making sure our neighborhoods know how City Hall is spending their money so we can better prioritize fixing our roads and sidewalks and keeping our communities safe."
