Description
Former California State Senator Carol Liu speaks with Virtual History intern Shelby Perez about her experiences growing up, the expectations that were placed upon her, and how those expectations shaped her into who she is today. Due to her gender, Liu felt she was limited to specific jobs and thus followed an education/teaching route. Liu originally moved to La Cañada 36 years ago because of her husband’s job at Southern California Edison and has remained in residency ever since. Her political career began in the La Cañada City Council, later being elected the city’s mayor before becoming a State Assemblyman from 2000-2006 and a State Senator from 2008-2016.
