WELCOME!
Thank you for visiting my web site.
If there was ever a time to leave the comfort zones of the Democratic and Republican Parties, now is the time!

Make a pledge to do something for yourself!  It's time California's leadership looks and thinks like its diverse population. Vote for Donna Warren for Lt. Governor and Give California a chance!
Donna Warren

What are the duties of the Lt. Governor? Often people ask that question because, frankly, past Lt. Governors — both Democrat and Republican — haven’t done anything.  So I’d like to tell you what the Lt. Governor does and if elected, how I will make those duties work for you!

The Lt. Governor:

  • Assumes the duties of the Governor in his or her absence
  • Is President of the Senate
  • Is Regent of the University of California and Trustee of the California State University System
  • Chairs the Commission for Economic Development
  • Is a Member of the California World Trade Commission;
  • and is a Member of the State Lands Commission.
    Chairs other important commissions and task force
     

If elected I will be a real leader in the Senate guiding the legislature to represent the people, not corporations and special interests.  I’ll be a strong regent for the UC and Cal State systems, ensuring our children are not kept out of the system because they don’t have the money to attend. I’ll foster real economic growth for the people, enacting fair policies in the California World Trade Commission and ensuring economic and cultural ties with Mexico speak to compassion, fairness and a living wage for all workers.

I’ll hold road trips throughout the state to build support to:
·Amend 3 Strikes to violent felonies only.
·End the death penalty
·End the prison industrial complex – schools not jails
·Ensure Healthcare and housing for all
·Lower fees for college & Stop the 50% high school drop-out rate
·Bring the troops home
·Ensure a living wage for all workers – citizen, undocumented, all

There are six people running for this office, two are entrenched politicians.  Look at their views on the death penalty and Three Strikes and tell me you can vote for someone who favors keeping a petty thief in prison for life. And then there’s me - Financial Manager and Grassroots Activist Donna Warren.  My record is solid – financial manager, advocate for the community, organizer.

If you want real change in Sacramento, you should support my campaign because I will bring to the debate an intelligent discussion on the wholesale imprisonment of our sons and daughters, health care, jobs, schools, transportation, immigration and housing.

We need to transform what Californians believe in their hearts into how they vote on election day.

I represent the best of what our politicians could be. I am not a spineless Democrat or a criminal Republican; I am a Green and believe in social justice for all of us.

Shirley Chisholm was a great legislator, the first Black woman in Congress.  Congresswoman Chisholm was unbought and unbossed.  I carry the legacy of Shirley Chisholm, I am unbought and unbossed.

So my question to you is, why are you still supporting spineless Democrats who refuse to stand up for our rights? In 2004, the mantra was “anyone but Bush”. Don’t use this tired mantra to keep me out of the Lt. Governor’s office. Instead, become a Million Votes for Peace (MVP) supporter and send a message to Sacramento.  ‘We want leadership for the people.  We want leaders who will stand for what’s right’.

My candidacy for Lt. Governor will organize the youth, challenge the mass incarceration of LA, and build peace in the neighborhood.  I care about our children.  I care about women rights. I care about gay rights. I care about people. I am the only candidate who received a 100% rating from CARAL, the national organization for women’s reproductive rights. I am the only choice for Lt. Governor!

What's Black, Green and Not Yet Over?

Donna Warren wants African-American voters to defect from the Democrats.

DONNA WARREN RECALLS THE EXACT MOMENT OF her political conversion with both the pragmatism and spiritual fervor that the phrase implies.

It was 1992, and Warren was attending one of countless community forums held across South-Central during the long, gray aftermath of the civil unrest.

Crusade against the CIA

Did the Central Intelligence Agency really encourage a crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles in the 80s?

That's what Donna Warren, whose son was a victim of the drug wars, intends to prove in court.

The Guardian Sept. 16, 1999

'It's not easy taking on the CIA," says Donna Warren. "But I'm not afraid of them because I've already lost my son to crack and he was one of the people I cherished most in the world. What can they do to me now?"

She throws back her head and laughs a slightly reckless laugh.
