Lee is among Congress’ most liberal members. She was famously the only member of Congress to oppose the authorization to use military force after the 9/11 attacks in 2001, so it will be hard to find a successor to her left. But her Oakland congressional district is not about to elect a conservative or even a moderate. Going forward, the seat will almost certainly be held by a liberal who is younger than Lee.
In 2020, she beat Republican Scott Baugh by about 9,000 votes. Baugh has announced plans to run again now that Porter is eyeing the Senate, though he will face stiff competition from state Sen. Dave Min, a progressive who has Porter’s endorsement and the advantage of running in a presidential year, which tends to boost turnout and help Democrats.
Jerry Brown was sworn in as California’s Secretary of State by former U.S. Chief Justice Earl Warren at ceremonies on Jan. 4, 1971, with former Gov. Pat Brown looking on. Photo by Associated Press “Leadership, Not Politics,” was Warren’s campaign slogan and guiding principle across his three consecutive terms as governor.
