California Congresswoman Jackie Speier Endorses Joe Biden for President

Today, California Congresswoman Jackie Speier released the following statement endorsing Joe Biden for the President of the United States:

“I’m proud to endorse Joe Biden. Voting for the Affordable Care Act and to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act were some of my proudest moments in Congress. Such monumental legislation wouldn’t have been possible without Joe. His integrity, values, and experience set Joe apart and make him the best suited to beat Donald Trump and get our country back on track. He will be a uniting leader and President for all Americans.”

Speier was elected to Congress in 2008 and represents California’s 14th Congressional District. Prior to that Speier had served in the California legislature since 1986.
