Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) has announced her candidacy to run in 2024 for the Senate seat occupied since 1992 by retiring Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).

“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. Californians deserve a strong, progressive leader who has delivered real change,” said Lee in a Feb. 21 post on her Twitter page that included her announcement video.
