At This Critical Moment Barbara Lee Is The Champion We Need As Head Of Democratic Caucus
For Immediate Release: November 19, 2018
NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue issued the following statement on the organization’s endorsement of Barbara Lee for Democratic Caucus Chair:
“Congresswoman Barbara Lee is a fierce, tireless, and highly effective champion for women and families. At a time when our most fundamental rights and freedoms are under attack daily from Donald Trump and his allies in Congress, it is vital to have a champion like Barbara Lee leading the Democratic Caucus. From the moment she stepped foot in Congress, twenty years ago, she has worked every day to fight for and advance policies that uplift all women and families, cosponsoring bills and spending time with advocates strategizing about how to advance our collective human rights. She is a proven leader and we’re thrilled to support her. We look forward to working with her as she helps lead Democrats in the next Congress and beyond.”
