I’m proud to announce that I’m endorsing Representative Barbara Lee for the US Senate and will serve as co-chair of her campaign.
Friend,
Over the past few months, it’s been an honor to hear from supporters across California who have reached out and encouraged me to run for US Senate next year.
While I’m truly grateful for their support, I love representing Silicon Valley in the House and will not enter the race for the California Senate seat.
Instead, I’m proud to announce that I’m endorsing Representative Barbara Lee for the US Senate and will serve as co-chair of her campaign.
Will you chip in and help Barbara Lee become California’s next senator?
Barbara is the progressive leader Californians need right now. And her solid record as one of Congress’ most outspoken champions of justice speaks for itself.
Barbara isn’t just an exceptional legislator; she’s also a personal hero. Her lone vote against the war in Afghanistan 20 years ago is one of the most courageous acts of modern time, and it inspired me to first run for Congress at age 27 on an anti-war platform.
I also believe that representation matters. The United States, as Frederick Douglass said in 1867, is a composite nation. But for far too long, our country’s institutions have failed to reflect that reality. Black women are the core of the Democratic Party, yet there isn’t a single Black woman currently serving in the Senate.
We can finally change that.
Donate now to help make history and send Barbara Lee to the Senate!
Building a multiracial, multicultural democracy is hard work, and we must be willing to fight for it. I look forward to fighting alongside Barbara Lee. I hope I can count on you as well.
In solidarity,
Ro
