PC030 Political Contessa All Issues are Women's Issues with California Candidate June Cutter
June Cutter is running for the California State Assembly this year to be a real voice in the community in Sacramento, California. She is an accomplished attorney, small business owner, and mom. Her community involvement began at the local elementary school, where she served as president of the PTA from 2018 to 2020. She currently serves as president of the statewide California Women’s Leadership Association, which helps women launch as leaders in politics, government, and within the community. The daughter of Korean immigrants, she was born and raised in southern California.
Today, June joins me to hammer home the point that all issues are women’s issues. We talk about how the primary season differs from state to state, and she offers her thoughts on the oil situation. We talk about why women are what’s needed, and we emphasize that women are not just concerned with reproductive rights. We note the importance of voting in local elections, discuss why we need both parties, and explain why the answer to our problems isn’t extremism. We talk about how we can get more women interested in running for office, as well as why women shouldn’t need to masculinize themselves to do so.
“Everything that impacts our world, impacts women.”
- June Cutter
“We are not just gonna just talk about reproductive rights. We want to talk about everything. We want a seat at the table to talk about our economy, to talk about the environment, to talk about education, to talk about foreign affairs. We are invested in it all and we deserve to have a say.”
- June Cutter
“I don’t want to play a male candidate. I want to be a female candidate and be elected because of all of the things that comprise who I am, and my femininity is part of it.”
- June Cutter
