Close the Gap California is a statewide political organization focused on achieving gender parity in the California Legislature by 2028. The group recruits and supports progressive women in targeted districts, preparing them to run competitive campaigns and thereby increasing the representation of women in state government. Its efforts emphasize issues such as reproductive justice, public school funding, and poverty alleviation, with a track record of placing several recruits in political roles. Based in Oakland, California, the organization operates within the political organizations industry and works to transform the composition of the Legislature over successive election cycles. Its activities are evidenced by a growing cadre of recruited candidates, including a substantial share of women of color, signaling a focus on diverse leadership pathways in California politics. The organization positions itself as a capacity-building conduit for women pursuing public office in the state, distinct from candidate recruitment firms or advocacy groups that do not concentrate on electoral candidacy.
