Barbara Lee Wins Key Endorsement from Wellstone Club

Monday, Oct. 11, Oakland, CA.–The Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club, the largest Democratic Club in the East Bay – announced its endorsement of Congresswoman Barbara Lee to represent California in the United States Senate.  The Wellstone Club participates in local and national elections and a broad range of social and political movements and is a leader in helping give an electoral voice to movements supporting labor, tenant rights, public education, and health to racial and sexual equity and the anti-war sentiments of our communities.  “Our objective is to help social movements to have an impact on the institutions of electoral politics as well as to elect more progressives to office,” said one of the Club’s founders, Jack Kurzweil.

“I am honored to have the support of my friends at the Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club, “ said Lee.  “For 20 years they have been important stewards of democratic values in my district. They have been boots on the ground in fighting for human rights, civil rights, and our progressive values across our county, state, nation, and the globe.”

“Congresswoman Lee has won the Club’s endorsement many times over the past 20 years and has never disappointed,” Kurzweil said.  “She is a standard bearer for progressive legislation in the House and has delivered on many of the issues her constituents care about including women’s rights, housing rights, and reducing the defense budget.”

The Wellstone Club joins a growing list of labor organizations, advocacy organizations and progressive politicians who support Congresswoman Lee’s campaign including the Working Families Party, GenZ for Change, the California Legislative Black Caucus, The Feminist Majority PAC, Stacey Abrams and Delores Huerta.
