My name is Erica Lee. I ran for Congress in my hometown, Sacramento. I recently ended my campaign as a working class renter due to MONEY, time, and political gatekeeping, to name just a few reasons.
As an experienced campaign operative with experience working in DC on Capitol Hill, I intend to speak openly about the Democratic establishment and how it keeps grassroots candidates down, the "endorsement Olympics," the fundraising, and more.

Join me, Erica Lee, a working class renter who just ended her campaign for Congress. I've worked on campaigns for years and even worked a stint in Washington, DC, to help fix a broken healthcare system.
