ORANGE COUNTY, CA – Today, Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove (CA-37) announced her endorsement of Joanna Weiss to represent California’s 47th congressional district.
“We need Joanna’s leadership in Congress. She has been serving her community her entire life, helping domestic abuse victims get to safety and being a fierce advocate for reproductive choice. She has lived the issues that so many working families are dealing with today, and I know she will be a champion for them. I am honored to endorse her in this race, and I am so looking forward to being her colleague.”
“I have long admired Congresswoman Kamlager-Dove’s work in the State Assembly, State Senate, and now Congress and the work she has done for our great state,” said Joanna Weiss. “I am honored and excited to have her support in this race, and I look forward to working alongside her in Congress to protect reproductive rights and address the climate crisis. Rep. Kamlager-Dove has been fighting for working families her entire career, and I look forward to joining her in that fight in Congress.”
Kamlager-Dove’s endorsement comes shortly after Rep. Julia Brownley’s endorsement last week and shows the broad coalition of support Weiss is building in her campaign. Rep. Kamlager-Dove joins Congresswoman Linda Sánchez, Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris, and Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley, among dozens of other women and local leaders. Weiss has also received the support of EMILYs List and Elect Democratic Women PAC.
