Endorsement from Congressman, Former Senator & Past Air Force Prosecutor Ted Lieu Demonstrates Correa’s Continued Momentum
SANTA ANA, CA— Reflecting his broadening support, today former State Senator Lou Correa earned a hefty endorsement from Congressman Ted Lieu in his bid to represent California’s 46th District in Congress.
Lieu currently represents California’s 33rd District in Congress. Prior being elected to federal office, Lieu served in the State Senate and the State Assembly. Before his time in the State Legislature, Lieu served on the Torrance City Council and as a United States Air Force Prosecutor.
“Lou Correa and I served together in the State Senate and the State Assembly,” said Congressman Ted Lieu. “We collaborated on a wide range of issues, from enhancing public safety and expanding economic development, to increasing investments in our education system, creating more jobs, and improving our state’s infrastructure. Lou’s immense experience combined with his deep devotion to public service and improving the lives of those he represents makes him extremely qualified to serve in Congress. He has my full, enthusiastic support.”
