WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Elect Democratic Women (EDW), the Congressional Member-led committee dedicated to electing Democratic women to Congress, announced its endorsement of Connie Chan for California’s 11th Congressional District.
“Elect Democratic Women proudly endorses Connie Chan for Congress. A committed public leader, Connie has dedicated her career to serving the people of San Francisco. She has delivered results at every level, from advancing environmental justice and public safety to securing critical investments in health care, housing, and food security. Connie has demonstrated the kind of forward thinking, effective leadership that working families depend on, and we are proud to support her candidacy,” said Congresswoman Lois Frankel, Chair of Elect Democratic Women.
“I am honored to earn the endorsement of Elect Democratic Women,” said Connie Chan. “My mother and many women leaders in my life have shown me great things happen when women lead. So I have learned to always step up and now have spent my career serving the community that supported my family when we immigrated to this country. I know firsthand that the American Dream depends on a government that works for working people, and I’ve dedicated my career to making that a reality. In Congress, I look forward to working with our Democratic women leaders to continue fighting for affordable and accessible health care, affordable child care nationwide and increased support for families like mine—so everyone has the opportunity to succeed.”
