A leading progressive in the House threw her weight behind Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) in the bruising battle for California Senate.
Congressional Progressive Caucus Chairwoman Pramila Jayapal formally backed Lee on Monday, commending her as a crusader for the working class and social justice issues."Barbara is a champion for justice who has been a persistent progressive voice in the U.S. House," Jayapal said in a statement.
"I am so grateful to have earned the trust and support of Congresswoman Jayapal," Lee said in a statement."She is one of the strongest voices for justice in Congress and it's been my honor to fight alongside her for a more progressive future for all. I'm running this campaign to bring this fight to the U.S. Senate."
Both Porter and Lee are members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, with Lee having previously served as a chairwoman.
