Best feminist president

Alexandra Reagan

As the president of Fem Dems, Alexandra Reagan's gearing up for a busy election season. The purpose of the California-based political nonprofit, according to its mission statement, is to “fight disenfranchisement both within the Democratic Party and the community at large” by way of electing feminist-minded candidates, soliciting feminist participation and better defining so-called women's issues. Locally, the group is presided over by Reagan, who also works with the Environmental Council of Sacramento and studied child development and ethnic studies at Sacramento State University. Whatever her role, Reagan approaches her outreach and advocacy duties with sharp smarts, unbridled cheerfulness and an impassioned commitment to change. It's a winning combination. Election-winning, to be exact. www.femdems.org. R.L.
