It entirely depends on where you work. If you work for a municipality or university, it's probably very accurate.

Sounds like they mean `culturally "left"` ie. NYTimes-morality.

Look at California Prop 16 for a concrete example. It was universally supported by left-wing groups, endorsed by the Chamber of Commerce broadly and by many of the state's biggest companies individually, passed the legislature with 75%, but failed at the ballot box with only a touch above 40% in favor. When policies left-wing groups favor are that much more popular among business and government leaders than among the general public, I dunno what to call that other than "left leaning".
