A California Congresswoman is racking up endorsements for her Senate run. Barbara Lee kicked off her campaign Saturday with a rally in Oakland. The mayor gave her support along with San Francisco’s mayor, the state superintendent of public instruction, and the state controller. Lee joins fellow Democrats Katie Porter and Adam Schiff in vying for the seat now held by Senator Dianne Feinstein, who recently said she’ll retire next year.
