Labor Secretary Perez endorses Hillary Clinton for president

[Cha]

7. It's a total surprise and has me grinning wide!

You know Sec of Labor Thomas Perez must have thought long and hard before he decided to make the unprecedented(AFAIK) move to endorse Hillary in the primary!

Perez added, "In the coming months, I look forward to hitting the campaign trail to highlight the progress we've made as a nation, the unfinished business, and why Hillary Clinton is the fighter we need leading that effort."

Perez is the third Obama Cabinet member to endorse Clinton, joining Thomas J. Vilsack, the secretary of agriculture and a former governor of Iowa, and Julián Castro, the secretary of housing and urban development and a former mayor of San Antonio.
