ideology or special interests," said Denise Jennison, San Ramon Valley Unified School

District Board Member. “Catharine is leading the way for better schools, and is doing

the right thing for our children.”


“I’m a lifelong Democrat, and I support Catharine Baker because she’s bipartisan and independent from the special interests that have too much interest in our schools,” said former Democratic Majority Leader of the California State Senate Gloria Romero.
