Weeks before election day, more than 150 volunteers boarded early morning buses in Sacramento and traveled east, through the towering mountains of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest and across the Nevada border to convince voters to approve a ballot measure that they, as Californians, could not vote on themselves.
Not only is Krell, a former deputy attorney general for the California Department of Justice, poised to be sworn into the state Legislature on Dec. 2 but the Nevada abortion measure passed overwhelmingly.
The way Krell saw it, the California voters that believed in her would understand why protecting their neighbors' abortion rights was important.
I don't think it was a wacky strategy at all. I'm really glad I did it. I felt like it was the most important thing.
