Rep. Barbara Lee on Thursday endorsed Sen. Kamala Harris’ bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
Ms. Lee, California Democrat, will serve as the co-chair of Harris’ campaign in their shared home state.
“When I was a young single mother attending Mills College, I invited Shirley Chisholm to come to speak on campus and was inspired to later work on her presidential campaign,” Ms. Lee said in a statement. “I threw all my energy and support behind a visionary Black woman committed to making America work for all its people. Shirley set us on a path toward progress, and now Senator Kamala Harris picks up the baton.”
