Elizabeth Warren Just Picked Up a Major Florida Endorsement
Sen. Elizabeth Warren just picked up a major endorsement from the Sunshine State.
The Massachusetts senator earned the support of New Florida Majority this weekend during a two-day conference in West Palm Beach. The progressive advocacy group says it will mobilize its statewide network in support of Warren's candidacy to be the next U.S. president.
During rank choice voting yesterday, members of New Florida Majority selected to endorse Warren. Sen. Bernie Sanders was the runnerup. Former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julian Castro came in a distant third.
"We're prepared to support whoever the candidate is to defeat Trump and his agenda of inequality and division, and our members believe Elizabeth Warren is the best candidate for the job," Andrea Mercado, executive director of the New Florida Majority, said in a statement. "We are ready to mobilize our communities in support of Elizabeth Warren to ensure her plans for big structural change become a reality that improves our lives."
