professor nolan higdon, from cal state east bay, says lee holds a pivotal legacy in the democratic party, not only because she was able to win a seat in congress, but also maintain her progressive stance. >> so barbara lee, really, throughout her career, kept those progressive positions as early as being one of the lone members to vote against the authorization of the us military in afghanistan during the war on terror. uh- followed that up by voting against the war in iraq, which may not seem like a big deal now, but to people who are alive at the time, you know, the context was that people were almost talked about as if they were traitors to the country for not supporting that war. so it was a very brave act from a young congressperson. >> even now, lee has not come close to her rival's campaign fundraising, federal election filings show that as of last month, schiff had brought in 31 million, while katie porter collected 16 million. that's compared to 4.8 million for barbara lee and about 6 million for garvey. now, one more note lee cannot hold on to her congressional seat because cal

cars daily, earlier, i spoke with the civil engineering and construction management expert at cal state east bay, and asked him to put this incident into perspective in terms of safety. >> the bridge was not very old, it only opened in 1977. so, it is not an infrastructure maintenance issue, you know, if you fortify these bridges and peers too much, then you are blocking the passage of ships, and traffic. so, it's like putting a guard rail in the middle-of-the-road. the lesson is, that we shouldn't be overly traumatized, by an accident. in other words, every minute, feeling like, you know, something is going to happen, because these are very rare. >> of course it gives you pause, there have been a couple of bay area bridge crashes back here in 2013, an empty oil tanker caused minor damage when it hit the base of a bridge tower on the old bay bridge. the overseas remark headed into the tower after heading out to see, and in 2007, another container ship, had a run-in with the bay bridge, spilling 52,000 gallons of oil. crews spent months cleaning up the damage. the ships pilot and two shipping com

joining us now is a professor of civil engineering at construction at cal state east bay. professor, thanks for being with us. let's start locally here. we have these bumpers now on our bridges. you're the expert. please explain how do these work? >> so the way it work is that they try to steer you from hitting the piers. but at the same time, if the force is straight, it will crumble much like a lot of devices that take the impact, absorb the impact by crumbling. so those are just part of the protection for the bridges. since the last incident, the bay area caltrans has also instituted some preventive measures, which include that, you know, in san francisco area, once the ships want to enter the bay, then they're boarded with san francisco bar pilot, which basically steers the vessel around the coastline and also the infrastructure. also for larger ships, there are tugs that will escort them and prevent any collisions or problems of such magnitude. bay area's six major toll bridges have a fender system, which you mentioned. so these fender systems are a big protection. bu
