Assemblywoman Rebecca Bauer-Kahan
The San Ramon Valley Democratic Club is tremendously happy to have our Democratic Assemblywoman Rebecca Bauer-Kahan speak on legislation that has recently passed and has been to proposed, bills that will improve people’s lives. She will also talk about the many committees on which she serves. We are excited to hear about how she is making a difference. She will also address what can be done at the state level to protect women’s right to make her own decisions about what she does with her body, including the right to choose an abortion.
We had planned to have Assemblymember Bauer-Kahan speak at our May 26 meeting, but the Assembly was still in session trying at pass a huge number of bills. Her aide Marilyn Lucey gave an extensive list of legislation. We are so glad that the Assemblymember was able to join us at our June meeting.
