Despite being one of the first states to legalize women's rights to vote in 1911, new statistics show California has fallen behind 22 states in electing women to public office.
"I was seeing the results of the budget strains on our classrooms and my kids, the principal pointed me to every committee," Baker told KPIX 5."When I saw these problems, I said 'What committee haven't you put me on to solve these issues?' and he said 'There isn't one, there's nothing you can do about it.'"
"I remember sitting down with a local male mayor who actually said to me, 'You have young children, don't you want to be at home with your kids?' and my opponent's wife just had a baby and I don't know if that was a subject of conversation," said Baker. Over the last 22 years, California has stayed around the same level in electing women to office - roughly 24-to-33% since 2000, according to research by Rutgers University - something Susannah Delano, executive director at Close the Gap CA, says should be increasing.
