My name is Paula Villescaz and I am running to represent our Placer and Sacramento County communities and families in the California State Senate. I am a public servant and an advocate, with extensive experience in the fields of education, health care and emergency response. After serving as President of the San Juan Unified School District (SJUSD) and as an Assistant Secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency during the pandemic, I understand firsthand the opportunities and challenges our communities are facing as we try to keep schools open and our economy moving.
Paula knows that all families are stronger when we support and invest in women. Paula will be a fierce defender of women’s rights. Every woman must be allowed to be in control of her own body and have autonomy when it comes to their reproductive health care decisions, including abortion. Paula will be a chamption in the State Senate for guaranteed access to safe and affordable abortions.
