What an exciting year this is! The Presidential race is one of the most extraordinary in recent history. It’s inspiring to see so many people coming out to vote. As you may know, I’ve endorsed Senator Barack Obama. As a member of his leadership group, I had the opportunity to speak to many Democratic Clubs during the winter leading up to the February 5 Primary.
Even though all of us are watching the Presidential race closely, my campaign for California State Senate is moving into high gear.
Last week we held a get together in Oakland for volunteers. It was SRO as people filled the room to the brim. It was heartwarming to see so many friends. We were joined by students from CSU East Bay, Peralta and UC Berkeley.
After everyone grabbed a snack – special thanks to Joanne Parenti for the homemade foccoccia, we heard from Campaign Consultant Larry Tramutola. He outlined our plans for the next 80+ days until the election. We brainstormed ideas and got assignments.

As always, I value your support. Wilma
