SUMMARY:Manny’s: Meet California Senate candidate Congresswoman Barbara Lee!
DESCRIPTION:The race for California’s Senate seat has already started to heat up\, with three strong contenders from across California announcing their candidacy. \nOne of those strong contenders is none other then East Bay representative Congresswoman Barbara Lee! Throughout her time in Congress\, representative Lee has been a consistent progress voice in Washington and now is looking to take those progressive policies to the Senate. \nJoin us on Monday\, July 31st at 5:30pm for a special meet and greet with the amazing Congresswoman Lee. This will be an opportunity to meet not only a local representative\, but also one of the 3 candidates running for California Senate! \nAbout Barbara Lee: \nCongresswoman Barbara Lee has been representing California’s 12th District (formerly 13th) since 1998. She is the highest ranking African American woman appointed to Democratic Leadership\, serving as Co-Chair of the Policy and Steering Committee. She also serves on the Budget Committee and the powerful Appropriations Committee\, which oversees all federal government spending. \nIn 2001\, Congresswoman Lee received national attention as the only Member of Congress to oppose the authorization for the use of military force (AUMF) in the wake of the horrific events on September 11th. The Congresswoman believed this AUMF would become a blank check for endless war. As of 2013\, this authorization had been used more than 30 times to engage in military action without Congressional oversight. Congresswoman Lee is working to repeal this blank check and restore Congress’s constitutional oversight to matters of war and peace. She was also an outspoken opponent of the Iraq War. \nCurrently\, Congresswoman Lee serves on the Budget Committee and the powerful Appropriations Committee\, which oversees all federal government spending. She serves on three subcommittees (Ranking Member\, State and Foreign Operations; Labor\, Health and Human Services\, Education; and Agriculture\, Rural Development\, Food and Drug Administration) of the Appropriations Committee. In January 2021\, she became the first African-American to chair the House Appropriations Subcommittee on State\, Foreign Operations\, and Related Programs.
