“Like most Americans, I’ve been listening and watching. And what I see are candidates who are all trying to figure out ways to break through the crowd. One candidate finally did by doing what comes instinctively to so many working people — Elizabeth Warren put her head down and did the work,” Flores wrote.

“She listens before she speaks. She is willing to admit when she’s wrong and make swift and necessary changes. She speaks her truths instead of poll-tested talking points,” Flores added.

The endorsement comes shortly after several high-profile endorsements of Sanders by young, progressive women of color, including Reps.

Despite the endorsements, Flores is the latest of several 2016 Sanders backers to throw her support in 2020 behind Warren, with others including Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and Johnson County, Iowa, Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Rod Sullivan, a key endorsement for Sanders in his 2016 campaign.
