Mission of the National Women's Political Caucus
Doreen Boxer, a veteran criminal defense attorney, has served
her community as a county public defender. She now serves as a
board member with the National Women's Political Caucus of Orange
County, and is currently the organization's vice president of
political action. In this role, Ms. Boxer conducts outreach and
support for women political candidates.
Since 1973, the National Women's Political Caucus has provided
resources and support for women running for public office. The
organization now includes local and state caucuses in 38 of the 50
United States, including California. In Southern California, the
Orange County caucus seeks, trains, and supports female candidates
for offices at the local, state, and federal level.
The Orange County Caucus follows the mission of the National
Women's Political Caucus of California, which strives to increase
the presence of women in the political process. In pursuing this
mission, the Caucus works to identify potential candidates and
train them for success as political candidates. The Caucus believes
that its success will be evident when women have secured equality
in all areas of life, including family planning and the workplace,
and when other biases such as racism and ableism have disappeared
in kind.
As Vice President of Political Action, Ms. Boxer has worked with
several women political candidates.
