SBWPC Presidents' Circle Luncheon

To honor Women’s History Month, the Presidents’ Circle of The Santa Barbara Women’s

Political Committee invites the public to a luncheon featuring speaker Sarah Leonard

Sheahan on Friday, March 31, 2023, at SOHO. Her topic is Confronting the Right-Wing

Narrative – and Winning! After her presentation, there will be time for questions from

the audience.

Ms. Sheahan is seasoned communication and public relations strategist with a

a distinguished record of creating effective persuasion campaigns to move and shape

public opinion on issues, policy, elected officials, and organizations in California and

across the country.

Ms. Sheahan served the Clinton, Obama, Kerry, Dean, and Gore presidential campaigns in

addition to U.S. Senate and gubernatorial races in Iowa and Arizona. As a trusted advisor

to two previous mayors, and as communications director for Karen Bass’ historic

mayoral race, Sarah worked with a core team of advisors to position Bass in the news

and social media as the clear pro-choice Democrat with the experience and record

voters could count on to address Los Angeles’ catastrophic challenges. She will address

the messaging and media outreach that confronts the right-wing narrative.
