Dauber talks gender-based violence in politics
Dauber — a key figure in the successful campaign to recall former Judge Aaron Persky ’84 M.A.
’85 — recently launched Enough is Enough, a political action committee (PAC) meant to target politicians accused of sexual assault or viewed as having voting records contrary to women’s rights.
“If someone had taken Roy Moore out when he was hanging around the shopping mall,” she said, “he never would have grown up to run in the most expensive Senate race in history.” Dauber added that Enough is Enough does not aim to be a partisan organization, although she acknowledged that the PAC plans to only target Democratic candidates in primaries and focus on Republican candidates in general elections.
Currently, the Enough is Enough website features five Republican candidates running for local and Congressional races who it aims to prevent from election.
In a grassroots effort separate from Enough is Enough, Dauber has also worked to raise money and awareness of Matt Manweller, a Washington state legislator under investigation for sexual misconduct at his previous job as a professor at Central Washington University.
In the two weeks since its launch, Enough is Enough has already exceeded its goal of raising $250,000.
Dauber emphasized that Stanford students are also vulnerable to sexual violence.
According to Dauber, victims of sexual violence at Stanford who are interested in working in Silicon Valley are vulnerable to the “frat culture” and “bro culture” prevalent in the industry.
“The only way we are going to make progress on sexual violence is by turning it into a serious voting issue in which individuals who have been credibility accused of these kinds of offenses are voted out of office,” she told The Daily on Saturday night.
A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that the campaign against Matt Manweller is a part of the Enough is Enough Voter Project.
