Nonetheless, a girl-crush it is.
How else to describe the feeling that swept over me last week when I read about her lawsuit against ES&S for selling uncertified electronic voting machines to California counties? Indeed, as I was on public transportation at the time, I was forced to suppress a happy squeal upon reading:
"ES&S ignored the law over and over and over again, and it got caught," Bowen said in a statement after filing suit against the company. "I am not going to stand on the sidelines and watch a voting system vendor come into the state, ignore the laws and make millions of dollars from California's taxpayers in the process."It's enough to make a straight progressive girl all woozy from joy.
I was favorably impressed with Secretary Bowen from the moment I met her, back in her pre-SoS days of 2005, when she had been in the California Legislature for a number of years and your humble blogger was a wet-behind-the-ears activist of only three months, greener than a Granny Smith apple. Everything I've seen since has only cemented that initial favorable impression and I know that Secretary Bowen will continue to be very impressive.
Way to go, Secretary Bowen. And keep on gettin' down with your bad-ass self.

When I sat down to read the state primary election information brochure, it gave me such a thrill to see Debra Bowen's name on it. Whatever else happens this election and others, we helped make Debra happen!
