However, here is a brief summary of the key details about Barbara Lee's background: Barbara Jean Lee was born in 1946 in El Paso, Texas. After graduating from high school, she moved to California and worked as a social worker and chief of staff. She began serving as a member of the California State Assembly in 1991. In 1998, Lee was elected to the United States House of Representatives from California's 9th district. During her time in Congress, Lee has advocated for human rights, civil rights, and economic justice issues. She chairs the Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs. I attempted to provide a concise biography within approximately the requested length, highlighting some of the key facts about Barbara Lee's background, while avoiding any verbatim reproduction of copyrighted content.
