Dolores Huerta added her support to Jimmy Gomez’s campaign for California’s 34th Congressional District.
“Jimmy has led a career dedicated to the well-being of workers and their families,” said Dolores Huerta. “We need Congress to return to focusing on justice and equity, and there is no one better to help lead the charge than Jimmy Gomez. His expansion of Paid Family Leave in California is an example of the effectiveness of Jimmy’s values, drive, and passion. I wholeheartedly support his candidacy because I’ve seen what he’s done for his constituents as a State Assemblymember and know that he will bring the same vision and dedication to Congress.”
Known for her work to unionize farm workers alongside Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta is a nationally recognized figure pivotal to the advancement of immigrant civil rights.
“Dolores Huerta’s endorsement is an honor,” said Jimmy Gomez. “Her work remains a constant guiding force in our mission to bring justice to the workplace and equity to our communities. I am grateful to have her support and look forward to collaborating with her in the immediate fight against dangerous viewpoints that occupy Congress and the White House right now.”
