WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Elect Democratic Women (EDW), the Congressional Member-led committee dedicated to electing Democratic women to Congress, announced its endorsement of Hilda Solis for California’s 38th Congressional District.
“Hilda Solis has built a remarkable record of delivering for the people of Los Angeles County by expanding access to health care, protecting workers’ rights, and securing hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding for the region,” said Liz Gallagher, Executive Director of Elect Democratic Women. “From her service as U.S. Secretary of Labor to her leadership as an LA County Supervisor, Hilda has been a tireless advocate for working families and the communities she serves. In Congress, she will continue fighting to protect health care and Medicaid, stand up for immigrant families, and hold Donald Trump and his administration accountable. Elect Democratic Women is proud to endorse Hilda Solis for California’s 38th Congressional District.”
“As the daughter of working-class immigrant parents from Mexico and Nicaragua, I know firsthand the challenges working families face every day,” said Los Angeles County Board Chair and First District Supervisor Hilda L. Solis. “That’s why I’ve dedicated my career to fighting for communities that have been overlooked for far too long by creating good union jobs, advancing environmental justice, and lowering the cost of living so families can get ahead instead of worrying about putting food on the table. I’m running for Congress to keep fighting for working families and ensure every family has the opportunity and support they need to thrive.”
