"I look forward to working with my fellow Democrats to support a progressive legislative agenda that puts people first," said Lee. "Now more than ever we must be unified in putting forth an agenda that will protect Social Security and Medicare, strengthen public schools, and combat social and racial inequalities that still exist."

"I am pleased that my Democratic colleagues have once again recognized the leadership of Rep. Barbara Lee by re-electing her to the important position of regional whip," said Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-SF). "She distinguished herself in this position last session by lining up Democratic support for key party initiatives and we all look forward to her continued efforts in the new Congress." "I would like to thank my colleagues for their continued support and confidence, as well as the voters of California's Ninth Congressional District for entrusting me to be their voice in Congress," said Lee. "I look forward to the challenges and opportunities that we will face together in the 107th Congress." ### Next Article | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
