Gloria Ritchie

Gloria Ritchie has been involved in politics in one way or another for most of her life. Raised in a political family, she learned campaigns from the ground up − telephoning, walking precincts, stuffing envelopes, posting signs and sitting in on strategy meetings. Her involvement grew to the point that she began to chair local campaigns for city council, mayor, school board and district offices. Increasingly sought after to lead various initiatives and efforts, Gloria quickly established herself as a key person in regional Democratic campaigns.

Gloria also served as district director for Assemblymember John Dutra for the duration of his service. Over the course of six years working with the state legislature, she gained invaluable insight into the funding disparities our cities, counties and special districts are faced with. Gloria joined TBWB in 2006.
