Campoverdi says these services and the access to birth control “are critical for women in low-income and rural communities.” In fact, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women and the improvements in the survival rate are partly ...

FROM COINAGE: This Is How Much It Would Cost to Paint the White House (And More Crazy Facts). Campoverdi is one of 23 candidates running to fill the seat vacated by now-California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, in the April 4 special election. The top two candidates will continue onto a runoff election in June. She wrote in Cosmo that now, eight years on, she understands “a lot more about the systemic sexism in politics than the young woman who beat herself up and took all the shaming so personally.”. Calling out “double standards,” Campoverdi said that she’s fighting back against the roles that women are sometimes typecast in, and notes that females shouldn’t have to choose between being intelligent and feminine. “The larger problem is our need for many more women — diverse, young, and from a range of perspectives — to run for office, now more than ever,” she said, adding, “Now more than ever, we must recognize and accept the complexity of real women, and ...

... boxes for ourselves and usually don't agree to them, so why should we have to live within them? Women shouldn’t need to choose between being intelligent and being feminine. Female sexuality and intelligence are not inversely related. I’m proud of the mosaic of experiences that make me who I am. My life experiences have forged me into a fighter and that’s why I decided that I won’t let others’ boxes stop me from doing what needs to be done — running for office, standing up to Trump and Republicans, and standing up for women in Los Angeles. But that's my experience, and I'm fortunate to have come through it. The larger problem is our need for many more women — diverse, young, and from a range of perspectives — to run for office, now more than ever. Few women are able to navigate their way through college and build a career in a way that is perfectly linear and that all ties together with a pretty bow on top.

And holding him accountable for that is something that I plan to do and to do very boldly. Where I come from, there’s no other way than to speak truth to power.

Joe Donnelly next year, but Rep. Luke Messer seems to be the most likely to go for it. Messer tells Howey Politics that "we're probably a couple of months away from making a final decision," but he took plenty of shots at his would-be opponent. Fellow Rep. Todd Rokita has also expressed interest in a bid, while freshman Rep. Jim Banks didn't rule it out last year. Howey also mentions ex-Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard and Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke as possible candidates, though there's no word that they're considering.
