Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) endorses Kamala Harris for POTUS

U.S. Rep. Ruben Gallego of Arizona has endorsed U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris and landed a position with her campaign, it was announced.

Gallego, who has been a vocal critic of Republican President Donald Trump, has been named as the campaign’s national security chair.

“At a time when we are one tweet away from war, Kamala has demonstrated she has the tenacity, toughness, and judgment to restore American global leadership,” Gallego said in a statement.

Gallego has represented AZ Congressional District 7 since 2011. He serves as assistant whip for his party’s caucus, first vice chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and on the Armed Services Committee.

“Ruben has been a champion for immigrants, veterans, and Arizonans for his entire career, and I’m honored to earn his endorsement,” Harris said in a prepared statement.

She cited his U.S. Marine service in Iraq and his work expanding Medicaid in Arizona among the reasons Gallego has impressed her.
