Obama issues first wave of 2020 Texas endorsements ☑️

Barack Obama is throwing his weight behind more than a dozen Texas Democratic candidates vying to flip congressional and state House seats.

The former president released his first wave of 2020 endorsements on Monday in a Medium post that included endorsements for candidates around the country.

In Texas, eight congressional candidates were endorsed. They include Sima Ladjevardian (TX-02), Wendy Davis (TX-21), Candace Valenzuela (TX-24), Gina Ortiz Jones (TX-23), Sri Preston Kulkarni (TX-22), Adrienne Bell (TX-14), and incumbents Lizzie Fletcher (TX-07) and Colin Allred (TX-32).

Obama also endorsed 19 candidates running in the Texas House, now only nine seats away from a Democratic majority.
