“Redistricting, Representation and Equity in the Salinas Valley” featuring Senator Anna Caballero

♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣

Anna M. Caballero was elected in 2018 to the California State Senate to represent the 12^th Senate District, which includes the Salinas Valley, San Benito County, Merced County and portions of Stanislaus, Madera and Fresno Counties. Due to redistricting, the Salinas Valley will become part of SD 17. Senator Caballero is now running in 2022 for Senate District 14.

Monterey County not only lost Anna Caballero as our State Senator, but the voting power of the majority Latino population of Salinas and the Salinas Valley has been severely weakened.
• How did this happen?
• What role did local leaders play in the redistricting process?
• Will the new districts be detrimental for Monterey County and the Salinas Valley?
• Where do we go from here?

Anna has a 30-year legacy of public service. She moved to Salinas to provide legal services to farmworkers and then ran for Salinas City Council where she focused on affordable housing, strengthening business opportunities for growth, the redevelopment of downtown, and providing more recreational space for families.

In 1998, Anna became the first female Mayor of Salinas. In 2006, she was first elected to the State Assembly. In 2011, she joined Governor Brown’s cabinet as Secretary of the Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency. She has been a tireless advocate for families, farmers, veterans, workers, the disabled, seniors, and teachers.

This special Presentation and Discussion takes place on Thursday, February 24th and begins at 11:30am. More information is available at https://my.lwv.org/california/monterey-county/calendar
