Newly endorsed House candidate Karen Bass is off and running in California. Earlier this week, Karen picked up a key endorsement from Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. Villaraigosa's support comes on the heels of endorsements from retiring incumbent Cong. Diane Watson and Cong. Maxine Waters (CA-35).

Here's what Villaraigosa had to say about Karen at the event at Los Angeles' City Hall:

“We need representation in the Congress that understands the needs of this city, the complexities of this city, the diversity of the city, and no one that I know truly understands those complexities, the diversity, the need for a fair share of resources like Karen Bass."

Karen is in a prime position to fill this Democratic-leaning seat, and we couldn't be more excited for her. But she's already drawn two primary opponents, and this won't be a clear path to victory.

You can help make sure Karen's campaign keeps running strong by making a contribution today!
