Former President Bill Clinton will be at UC Irvine on Tuesday to formally endorse several Democratic congressional candidates, including one vying for a seat that serves parts of Orange County.

Clinton will be the keynote speaker at the “California’s Voice” rally to endorse Alan Lowenthal, who is challenging Republican Gary DeLong for the 47th Congressional District seat.

The district covers Garden Grove, Cypress, Westminster, Rossmoor, Los Alamitos, Stanton, Buena Park and parts of Los Angeles County.

Other formal endorsements will go to Julia Brownley, running for the 26th District seat in Ventura; Scott Peters, running for the San Diego-base 52nd District seat; Raul Ruiz, looking to claim the 36th District seat in Palm Springs; and Mark Takano, campaigning for the 41st District seat in Riverside.

The event is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. at the Bren Center.
