Looking to regain momentum in the presidential race, former Vice President Joe Biden is turning to Houston’s U.S. Rep. Sylvia Garcia.

Biden on Wednesday announced he had won Garcia’s endorsement to go along with 42 other endorsements from members of Congress.

Garcia said Biden has a long history of fighting for middle-class workers, something the nation badly needs after four years of President Donald Trump in office.

“I know as president he will ensure that no one is left behind — and that’s why I’m proud to endorse him for President,” Garcia said.

Garcia made history in 2018 in becoming the first Hispanic ever elected to Congress from Houston. She is the 6th member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus to back his bid for the White House.

Biden has previously won endorsements from Texas Democratic Reps. Vicente Gonzalez and Filemon Vela, also members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

With early voting underway in Texas, the major candidates for the White House are focusing more on building up their campaigns in Texas and more specifically Houston. Just last week, it was former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg touting a new endorsement from Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner.
