Washington: Indian-American California Attorney General Kamala Harris has won a major endorsement for her Senate bid from top Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren.
A day after Harris declared her candidacy for the 2016 Senate race, Warren, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, in an email to her supporters praised the Indian-American attorney and urged them to donate generously for her campaign.
“California Attorney General Kamala Harris is a smart, tough, and experienced prosecutor who has consistently stood up to Wall Street... She (has) announced her candidacy for the US Senate and I’m happy to support her campaign,” Warren said.
Last week, current Senator Barbara Boxer, 74, had announced that she would not run for re-election in the 2016.
“I’m sharing with you that I’m launching my campaign to represent the people of California in the United States Senate. I want to be a voice for Californians,” Harris said. “I worked with Kamala, and I saw up close and personal that she is tough, she is principled, and she fights hard,” Warren said.
“We need more leaders in Washington who are willing to fight for a level playing field for working families. She came to Massachusetts to help our campaign in 2012, and I’m doing what I can to make sure Kamala Harris makes it,” she said.
