"I am proud to endorse Kamala Harris for President because she has the vision we need for America's future — bringing people together, lifting up diverse voices, and fighting for our shared values," said Congresswoman Brownley. "I worked with Kamala when I was in the California legislature and I know she has the tenacity, fearlessness, and experience to lead this country into a better future for all Americans. Her passion and track record as a champion for justice and an advocate for women and families is unparalleled. She's exactly the kind of effective and compassionate leader our country needs."
