California Rep. Barbara Lee announced in a tweet Tuesday that she’s running for Senate in California, a week after Sen. Dianne Feinstein announced she will not be running for reelection in 2024.
“Today I am proud to announce my candidacy for U.S. Senate,” Lee wrote. “I’ve never backed down from doing what’s right. And I never will. Californians deserve a strong, progressive leader who has delivered real change.”
Lee has represented Northern California’s 12th District (formerly 13th) since 1998.
She joins a growing field — Democratic Reps. Katie Porter and Adam Schiff declared they would run for Feinstein’s seat before she announced her retirement. House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi said she will support Schiff.
