Gun Sense Candidate Distinction

​

"The Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate distinction lets voters know which

candidates will stand up for gun safety if elected into office. Gun Sense Candidates have proven their commitment to lifesaving gun laws. Gail Pellerin has committed to governing with gun sense as a priority."

​

"Pellerin...is energetic, possesses strong people skills and is widely known for her long-standing advocacy for more women in leadership roles. Pellerin is the best choice for District 28 voters.

Pellerin’s expertise on voting rights and mental health would be a valuable addition to the Assembly." 

The san jose mercury news

​

"The District 28 Assembly member will have to represent a diverse area encompassing the coast, mountains, urban regions and ag lands. A tall order. Pellerin can do that – and has shown she is an

impartial and independent leader in voting rights, the state’s mental health crisis, gender equity, along with experience working with state organizations and agencies." 

SANTA CRUZ SENTINEL

​

“EMILY’s List is proud to endorse Gail Pellerin for election to California’s 28th Assembly

District. Pellerin has been at the forefront of working for free and fair elections,

having served for nearly 30 years as the chief elections official in Santa Cruz County. She knows all too well the dangers that voter restrictions pose to democracy and will work to protect the voting rights and freedoms of all Californians.”

EMILY'S LIST

​

"Gail has my wholehearted support for her run for State Assembly. Gail brings an array of experience in public service—from her work in the California legislature to her experience as a Santa

Cruz County Clerk. I was proud to appoint Gail to the State Voting Accessibility Advisory Committee, and I am grateful for the work that she did to ensure the accessibility of voting. She will bring that same passion to making government accessible for all Californians. I hope you will join me in supporting Gail Pellerin for 28th Assembly District." 

Alex Padilla,
u.s. Senator

​

Zoe Lofgren,

“I'm honored to endorse Gail Pellerin for State Assembly.  Her past work for the Assembly and her past service as our Clerk in Santa Cruz County has provided Gail with an excellent foundation to

continue to serve our community as a member of the State Assembly.  Gail will listen to her constituents, work with her peers, and fight for us in Sacramento.  I look forward to working with Gail to get things done for the people of Santa Cruz and Santa Clara Counties." 

jimmy panetta,

​

"For years, I have watched Gail advocate for women and fight for equality.  Through her work with Girls Inc, Cabrillo College Women's Educational Success, and Women in Leadership for Diverse 

Representation, she has inspired and empowered women to take on leadership roles.  Through training and educational opportunities,  Gail  has supported women running for office, and it is now my honor to support her election to the State Assembly.  Her tenacity, hard work, compassion, and drive will be an asset to all residents of our region."

sam farr,
former u.s. representative

​

and great experience to the legislature and will be the warrior for education and children that Santa Cruz deserves and California needs. Gail will fight for all children and their education from preschool to K-12 and onto higher education. And Santa Cruz & Santa Clara Counties are overdue when it comes to sending a woman to represent this amazing region in the legislature.”

delaine eastin,
Fmr. California State Superintendent of Public Instruction

​

"It is my honor to enthusiastically endorse Gail Pellerin for the California State Assembly. Gail will bring many talents, a wonderful work ethic, a brass backbone

"I have known and worked with Gail Pellerin for thirty years.  As county clerk, she was efficient and effective as she reached out to register as many county residents as possible - and make sure their votes were

county.  She was an early strong supporter of marriage equality.  She will bring that hard work and experience to the state legislature.  I am proud to support her."

John Laird,

voters to support her campaign for State Assembly.” 

robert rivas,

​

“In a time when Democracy is literally under attack, I cannot think of another person more qualified or more prepared to fight for our Democracy and protect voting rights.  She has the

experience, integrity and leadership skills to hit the ground running and I can’t wait to see what she will accomplish in the State Assembly.”  

mark stone,
California State assemblymember

​

"Gail Pellerin's commitment to public service is truly outstanding. From her work in suicide prevention and providing resources to those in need of mental

health service, to her ardent efforts in raising the voices of women and girls in her community, Gail has shown that she is the voice that the people of Assembly District 28 need and deserve. That is why I am proud to endorse Gail in her run for State Assembly, so we can partner on issues like procuring mental and behavioral health services for K-12 students, making our neighborhoods better for children and families.” 

SUSAN ELLENBERG,
Santa clara County Supervisor, District 4

​

"Although we still lack gender parity, we hope to continue to grow our representation with women like [Gail]. The communities in the 28th Assembly District needs

[her] strong voice to represent them in Sacramento. Democratic women in the Assembly, Senate, and Constitutional Offices are leaders and we continue to advance legislation and issues that improve the lives of women and children. We work collaboratively for a better California and we hope to have [Gail} join our ranks by representing the 28th Assembly District.” 

California Democratic Legislative Women’s Caucus

​

"I have worked with Gail for many years as a member of the Santa Cruz County Voting Accessibility Advisory Committee and a volunteer during many election cycles. What stands out the most are her passion, enthusiasm,

commitment, fairness and respect. I even watched her stand up to a Secretary of State, saying, "I will not let you humiliate my voters with disabilities." She's gone out of her way to help solve any problem that came up. She really made me feel like I mattered, my experience mattered, and my success mattered. She is a very good and active listener. It has meant that her actions were appropriate and correct. She brings humanity to public office. She'll laugh with us, cry with us, and really go to bat for us. I do not feel like I am a stepping stone to power, but that she is running for office because she truly wants to serve our community and all of us who live here. She is one of us. We need "one of us" in Sacramento. I heartily and happily endorse Gail Pellerin for State Assembly."

Veronica Elsea,
santa cruz resident

​

I am proud to endorse my long time colleague and friend, Gail Pellerin, in her run for State Assembly in District 28.  As a long time IT professional in government spending 15 years as the Director of Information Systems for the County of Santa Cruz, I

have seen how Gail utilized technology to ensure open elections and accessible voting while securing and protecting the results.  Gail has always been an early adopter of technology while also thoroughly ensuing the safety of the technology.  She worked closely with my department during the years and especially during the pandemic."
