Go Ms Lee! I'm gonna support you all the way from Bmore! You are the ONLY congressperson to vote NO on the Iraqi war authorization. I still remember some 20 years later!

[JulioRodriguez-eprv]

She is the only member of congress who voted against the Afghanistan war . Lee has my support .

Excellent interview and it’s amazing that CA already has an impressive roster of people running for this senate seat.

Climate crisis, public safety, homelessness. Good points that Schiff and Porter also care about.

Please give way for younger generation

He will be a very good candidate. The sad thing is the DiFi does not realize that she is retiring. The question is, “should DiFi retire now, because obviously she is not in control of her faculties.”

[jnolasc]

She has been in the house since 1998, and not a single major bill has her name on it . SORRY GIRL, I AINT VOTING FOR YOU OR SHIFT.
She says climate is what she wants to bring to the senate, why hasn't she brought it in the 25 years she has been in the house 😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒
Let someone new take in this sister.

Sorry, but she is too old. Katie Porter is young enough to be her daughter and still is nearly 50 years old. Pay attention.

[marmac]

WOW! that will be some kind of a competitive race, for sure! I hope atleast 2 of the Dems make it out of the Primaries tho! My State has closed Primaries. I don't really think you can lose with any of them, cept she takes it for me, for Voting AGAINST that AUMF!!

[thinkbeyond]

I would like to see Lee win this seat and let Katie Porter run for the Whitehouse instead! 😃👍

[OliverdeClisson]

its katie porter or adam schiff. drop out barbara lee.

[JConlon]

I think you are good on policy but all you are doing is splitting the progressive vote and you will hand the election the shifty Schiff

[TheRealCrimdor]

Democrats love playing revolving doors with these seats.

Ruben Gallego, Adam Schiff, now Barbara Lee.

These people have NO shame.
