At the start of the 1994 session, Jim Brulte of Rancho Cucamonga, the leader of a Republican caucus that had a narrow majority, seemed to be set for the speaker role. A few months later, Assemblymember Doris Allen, a Republican from Cypress, became the first woman to hold the speaker position in June 1995. Brown had said he’d only remain in the post until another member could put together the requisite number of votes needed for the job — and with the help of Democrats, Allen did.Democrats said Allen was the right person for the job because she could maintain bipartisan control and would foster working relationships.
“I believe that politics is a team sport,” Pringle, now a government affairs consultant, said. “You need to be a part of a team, a caucus, a party. That doesn’t mean you’re bound to everything that team does, but the only way you have any power is if you work together with the team.”
