It's so much easier to throw rocks than it is to govern.

My father was from the South and turned me into a news junkie at a very early age. I would sit and watch TV with him.

I have been a lifelong community activist and frankly did not dream of being in public office.

I think that women are much more collaborative; men are much more competitive.

When I was in my early 20s, I studied tae kwon do and hapkido. I earned brown belts in both of them.

You know, I was a community activist, so I'm used to standing out in front of an elected official's office and protesting.

We are delighted with today’s State Supreme Court ruling allowing marriage equality in California. It is a true testament to advancing equality and to recognizing the right of all Californians to build a future with the person they love. We recently lost Mildred Loving, the woman whose marriage to a man of another race ushered in the Supreme Court ruling that made marriage colorblind. Today’s ruling is another important reminder that love will overcome.
