But it's LA's Karen Bass, not the Bay Area's Fiona Ma, who has the numbers she needs to take over from Fabian Nunez as the Speaker of the State Assembly.
I'm kinda bummed because I think Fiona Ma is great and she's the nearest candidate, geographically, to me. This is still a big step ahead for California, however, as she becomes the first Democratic woman to hold the post and only the second woman ever (after Doris Allen, a Republican who was Speaker ever so briefly before being recalled).
Sorry Fiona. I'm glad you tried though. The more women pursuing these positions of power, the better our government gets.
