BART Board Director Lateefah Simon has jumped into the race to replace East Bay Rep. Barbara Lee — marking the first of what’s likely to be a serries of political shake-ups stemming from the impending retirement of iconic Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
Simon, who was elected to BART’s board in 2016 after years working for social justice programs, announced her candidacy Tuesday.
“I’ve spent my life fighting for those folks, and I will work to take our shared stories and experiences to the halls of Congress so I can continue our fight,” she said. “That’s how we make change on a national level. And that’s why I’m running for this seat.”
