From City Hall to the State Capitol: The Women Leading Sacramento

In this conversation, California State Senate Majority Leader Angelique Ashby moderates a discussion with three women currently serving on the Sacramento City Council: Caity Maple, Karina Talamantes, and Mai Vang.

Having mentored each of them during her time as Sacramento Vice Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem, Senator Ashby reflects with the women on their shared experiences working in Sacramento, the path from local leadership to broader influence, and the importance of mentorship among women in public service.

Together, they discuss community priorities, leadership lessons, and how women supporting women continues to shape the future of Sacramento’s civic leadership.

Fun fact: Karina Talamantes is a long time She Shares mentor, bringing this conversation full circle.
