"From creating a program to address trauma in children who witness domestic violence as San Francisco’s district attorney, to standing up to big banks and winning billions for California’s homeowners as attorney general, to being one of the foremost opponents in the Senate to the corruption of this administration - Kamala Harris represents the future of our nation," Green said.

Green is the second member of the Congressional Black Caucus to endorse Harris, according to the statement.

He will campaign with Harris and serve as Texas campaign co-chairman.
