FORMER CONGRESSWOMAN BARBARA LEE REFLECTS ON CAREER, TALKS FUTURE

Congresswoman Bara Lee has spent more than half her life in politics, and her career has come to a stop for now."We have stood firm on issues relating to the cost of living, to making life better for everyone, to issues of war and peace, foreign policy, and housing," Lee said.

Lee spent 26 years in Congress, 7 years in the California Legislature, and 11 years working for the late congressman Rob Dellums. She said she never wanted to be part of any party and thanked Shruley Chisholm, the first black woman elected to Congress, for getting her into politics. The pair met at Mills College, and the Ast Bill Lee passed was Chisholm's congressional gold medal.
