Today, President Biden welcomed the Las Vegas Aces to the White House to celebrate their 2023 WNBA championship. Congratulations, Las Vegas Aces on going back-to-back!
As chair of California Legislative Women's Caucus, I was honored to stand today w/ Steve Glazer & legal leaders to commemorate CA’s 1st woman Supreme Court Chief Justice, Rose Bird, and to establish the “Chief Justice Rose Elizabeth Bird Justice for All Plaza' at the CA Capitol.
Proud to witness the dedication of Chief Justice Rose Bird Plaza in the State Capitol World Peace Rose Garden. Justice Bird was the first woman to serve in the CA State Cabinet and the first female Chief Justice of California. #knowyourHERstory #breakingtheglassceiling
