U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee on Tuesday formally launched her campaign for the Senate seat held by the retiring Dianne Feinstein, joining two fellow House Democrats in the race in the nation's most populous state.
--Video from previous coverage.
In a video posted on Twitter, Lee ran through a list of the personal and professional battles she has taken on in her life, including fighting to be her school's first Black cheerleader, championing protections for survivors of domestic violence and being the only member of Congress to vote against the authorization for the use of military force after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
“Today I am proud to announce my candidacy for U.S. Senate. I’ve never backed down from doing what’s right. And I never will," Lee said in the video. “Californians deserve a strong, progressive leader who has delivered real change.”

Yay, more commies in DC? Just shoot me now.
Hope she gets it. Imagine Pencil Neck looking for a job. Voted against the Iraq war. A Profile in Courage. We ain’t got nothing. No need to criticize. What does it buy us?
Communist.
So we have Barbara Lee , Schiff, and Katie Porter, all currently members of the House of Representatives from California, as declared candidates for this seat.
Who will get it that’s the question.
Since California has a jungle primary, it’s quite possible two of these will face off in the general election.
All these “progressive leaders” delivering change, is how they got in the trouble they’re in. If they’d have left California alone, when it was thriving, things would be pretty good out there.
She’s right about one thing...Californians “deserve” whatever they vote for.
Porter will have to drop out because she is not black, and Schiff will have to back out because he is not black or a woman. Now, if a black transwoman runs, Lee will have to back out. That’s the state of the Democrat party these days.
Feinswine ain’t gonna make it another 2 years
Gov Hairgel will be installing his preferred candidate , who will never lose
But Schiff could either be a plausible closeted gay at present, or, despite being married, could announce that he was coming out gay. And that could put him back in the hunt.
No matter how the circus plays out in CA it will not be good for the nation. Think of the absolute parade of trash they have sent to the Senate in the last 30 years...
Just wait until the PRI (Mexico’s equivalent of the Democrats) decide they want one of their own in California.
Good! The more of those snakes hissing and spitting their venom at each other the better.
Or the CCP.
Lee voted against the Patriot Act.
Somebody explain this to me.
I think this race could get nasty.
Another RAT Politician named after a Confederate General whose statues have all been torn down and destroyed by the Black Looter’s Movement and freeloading “refugees” partying in the U.S.
She might be a radical progressive but she seems principled unlike Adam Schiff. I am in the (almost) anyone but Schiff camp.
Schiffty could go "trans" and walk away with it.
He saves that for his “special Saturdays” when he visits Ed Buck in prison
