Meet Carolyn J. Fowler
Candidate for Re-Election | Controller, California Democratic Party
Proven. Prepared. Proud to Serve.
Carolyn Fowler is a dedicated public servant, fiscal watchdog, and lifelong advocate for justice. With deep roots in organizing, education, and accountability, Carolyn proudly serves as Controller of the California Democratic Party and is seeking re-election to continue ensuring that every voice is heard, every vote is protected, and every dollar is accounted for.
Carolyn resides in Inglewood, California, and is a proud sister in the labor movement and active member of IAM Local 1932. Her work is grounded in a lifelong belief in the power of people and the responsibility of government to serve with integrity, transparency, and equity.
A Lifetime of Service Across Sectors
Carolyn’s career spans business, education, nonprofit, and government work. She holds a B.A. in Business Administration from the University of Michigan and earned a Global MBA International Certificate from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
She currently serves as a Professional Expert for the Los Angeles Unified School District, where she unapologetically advocates for public education and student equity. Through her collaboration with MOVE On, SLATE-Z and the Los Angeles Mayor’s Office, Carolyn helped initiate a pilot program for free public transit for foster and homeless youth — a program that ultimately expanded to provide free fare passes for all students in Los Angeles County.
A former AT&T executive and five-year Chief Operating Officer of The Smiley Group, Inc., Carolyn’s professional foundation is grounded in communications, operations, and impact. She brings those skills to every space she enters — from local organizing to national policymaking.
Democratic Party Leadership & Legacy
For over two decades, Carolyn has been a champion within the Democratic Party:
• Current Controller, CADEM
• Chair, Women’s Caucus
• Co-Chair, JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion) Committee
• Elected Member, Democratic National Committee (DNC)
• Former Officer, Los Angeles County Democratic Party (including Corresponding Secretary, Election Protection Chair, and committee roles on Finance, Policy, and Anti-Harassment)
She has fought tirelessly for marginalized communities, reproductive justice, voter protections, and fair party practices. Whether chairing a committee or mentoring emerging leaders, Carolyn leads with purpose, fairness, and deep integrity.
A Voice for Seniors and Voters Alike
Carolyn currently serves on the California Senior Legislature, where she authored a successful proposal for dental preventive care in skilled nursing facilities — ultimately signed into law as AB 2145. She is also a member of LA County’s Voting Systems for All People (VSAP) and a founding member of the California Election Protection Network.
Why Carolyn? Why Now?
Carolyn is running for re-election because she knows what it takes to prepare our party for the battles ahead — financially, structurally, and morally. She believes in contesting every race, building year-round organizing infrastructure, and ensuring our party’s financial systems are aligned with our platform.
“Fowler Fights For You.”
Because every voice matters. Every vote counts. And every dollar must be accounted for.
