Judy Chu Wins CA-32!

Yesterday, Southern Californians voted overwhelmingly to elect WCF-endorsed Candidate Judy Chu to the U.S. House of Representatives from CA-32!  She will become the first Chinese-American woman to serve in Congress.

Chu fills a seat left open by Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, appointed by President Obama in January.  Chu served as the vice chair of the California Board of Equalization and finished atop a field of 13 candidates in the May primary.

WCF congratulates this outstanding candidate, who will take her seat as the 93rd woman in this Congress.  That means just 17% of the 111th Congress is female.  Congratulations to Chu- Congress needs a strong woman like you!
