OAKLAND, CA – Tonight, in a historic
vote, the California Democratic Party endorsed State Senator Kevin de
León for U.S. Senate over 25-year incumbent Dianne Feinstein.
65% of the California Democratic
Party united behind bold leadership and endorsed State Senator Kevin de
León, while only 7% voted for Senator Feinstein. Senator Kevin de León
released the following statement:
“First, to the members of the California Democratic Party, this is your victory.
"Earning the endorsement of so many leaders and activists of the
California Democratic Party isn’t just an honor and a privilege; today’s
vote is a clear-eyed rejection of politics as usual in Washington, D.C.
Through years of hard-won progress, we have proven to the world that
California can forge a path for the rest of the nation.
“The nation’s most accomplished Democratic Party is leading the call for
a new generation of leadership who will fight to advance a bold agenda.
I have never been more committed to giving every Californian a real
opportunity to succeed.
“We have presented Californians with the first real alternative to the
worn-out Washington playbook in a quarter-century. As the California
Democratic Party’s endorsed candidate, I renew my call for a debate.”
