Former member of Congress
Barbara Lee
Rep. for CA-12, Democrat, in the 118th Congress (2023–2024).
No longer in Congress. This page shows their record in the past Congresses on this site, with the seat and party they held then.
Time in office
Every stretch of service in Congress, from the congress-legislators records. Vote counts on this site begin in 2013, so service before then has dates but no scores.
| Office | Seat | Party | From | To | Congresses |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| U.S. House, California | CA-09, CA-13, CA-12 | Democrat | April 7, 1998 | Jan. 3, 2025 | 105th–118th |
Voting record by President
All the votes on this site from their time in office, added up under the President in office on the day of each vote. One President's figures are never combined with another's, and Trump's two terms are separate. A new President can take office partway through a Congress, so these can differ slightly from a Congress's own figures.
| President | Congresses | Votes with the President | Party loyalty | Missed votes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Joseph R. Biden Jr. (2021–2025) | 118th, 117th | 96% (218 of 228) | 99% (1,367 of 1,373) | 3% (70 of 2,196) |
| Donald J. Trump (2017–2021) | 117th, 116th, 115th | 10% (18 of 172) | 99% (1,415 of 1,426) | 1% (30 of 2,115) |
| Barack Obama (2009–2017) | 115th, 114th, 113th | 93% (250 of 269) | 99% (1,769 of 1,789) | 8% (194 of 2,578) |
Every Congress
Each row is that Congress alone, and the President score is for the President of that time. Missed votes are left out of both scores.
| Congress | Seat | Party | Party loyalty | Votes with the President | Missed votes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 118th Congress (2023–2024) | House CA-12 | Democrat | 99% | Biden: 92% | 5% |
| 117th Congress (2021–2022) | House CA-13 | Democrat | 99% | Trump: –; Biden: 99% | 0.8% |
| 116th Congress (2019–2020) | House CA-13 | Democrat | 99% | Trump: 13% | 1% |
| 115th Congress (2017–2018) | House CA-13 | Democrat | 99% | Obama: –; Trump: 7% | 2% |
| 114th Congress (2015–2016) | House CA-13 | Democrat | 99% | Obama: 94% | 10% |
| 113th Congress (2013–2014) | House CA-13 | Democrat | 98% | Obama: 92% | 4% |
