This Saturday will mark the launch of Senator Cedillo’s aggressive grassroots-driven field program, and the campaign will be unveiling a very high profile endorsement. Campaign Manager Derek Humphrey calls the soon to be announced endorsement “one of the most meaningful and impactful endorsements in the San Gabriel Valley.*” Humphrey added that the endorsement, “will arguably give Senator Cedillo the three most important individual endorsements in the race for California’s 32nd Congressional District.”

The 32nd Congressional District was vacated last week after Congresswoman Hilda Solis was confirmed as the new Secretary of Labor. The Los Angeles County district encompasses a swath of the San Gabriel Valley from East Los Angeles to Covina. An election date for the Special Election to replace Congresswoman Solis has not yet been set, but it is expected to occur in mid-May.
