Rep. Barbara Lee's Advice for Women Running for Congress
California Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D) CA discusses the record number of interest of women possibly seeking campaigns for Congress this year.
Lee's advice to women is that if they're thinking about it, don't think too long, because there are issues that need to be solved in this country.
She also talks the difficulties women, and black women in particular, face when running campaigns. She focuses particularly on the difficulties in finding funding opportunities.
She also talks about how powerful women are as leaders, and their ability to tackle issues that not only pertain to women, but all Americans.
