“Katrina Foley is precisely the kind of tireless champion we need fighting for reproductive freedom in the California Senate.

NARAL is proud to back her in this race, and we look forward to the work she will do for California women and families in the state legislature.”

Whether as an attorney advocating for victims of sexual harassment and discrimination or serving on four county-wide Women-led non-profit boards: The Girl Scouts of America, the Orange County Women Lawyers Association, Planned Parenthood, and Women In Leadership, she has gone above and beyond improving the lives of women of all ages in Orange County. The California Women’s List eagerly anticipates what she’ll accomplish next to further women’s equality across the state of California. We are proud to endorse her.”
