OUR IMPACT

 

During its twenty-five-year tenure, the Barbara Lee Political Office was a leading resource for progressive women candidates, with a proven record of success in electing women to office.  Barbara Lee worked to advance women’s equality in American politics by recruiting, electing, and supporting pro-choice, pro-equality women candidates.  The Barbara Lee Political Office was inspired by Barbara’s core belief that electing progressive women strengthens our democracy, promotes social justice, and builds a more productive, responsive, and accountable government.

Over the course of its twenty-five years, Barbara has helped elect 208 women in 37 states. She helped elect the first woman Vice President of the United States, as well as every sitting Democratic woman Governor and Senator.
