Toni Atkins on running to become California's first lesbian governor (exclusive)
Briefly

"Toni is a seasoned politician and has been successful," Parker says. "In her time in politics, Atkins has been a member of the San Diego City Council, the California Assembly, and the California Senate, and in every one of those bodies, she moved into leadership." This underscores her extensive experience and capability in the political arena, setting her apart as a leading candidate for governor.
"Victory Fund endorses only out LGBTQ+ candidates - but also only viable and qualified ones, and Victory Fund President and CEO Annise Parker says Atkins is viable, qualified, and then some... Atkin's qualifications have made her stand out in a crowded field of candidates, making her a top contender for California governor."
"Atkins grew up in a working-class family in rural Virginia; the family home did not have running water. Now 62, she came out at age 17. She reflects growth and resilience, qualities that add to her appeal as a candidate in today's political landscape."
