The Barbara Lee Political Office advances women’s equality in American politics by recruiting, electing, and supporting progressive, pro-choice, pro-equality women candidates.
We achieve this by:
- providing women with critical resources and knowledge to meet the challenges of campaigning;
- working to elect a progressive woman President by building a pipeline of women Governors and U.S. Senators; and
- investing in the next generation of women leaders by recruiting women to run, funding political training programs, and offering strategic support to women candidates.
The Political Office is a leading resource for progressive women candidates, with a proven record of success in electing women to office. Our work reflects our core belief that electing progressive women strengthens our democracy, promotes social justice, and builds a more productive, responsive, and accountable government.
