Celebrated Labor Leader Ray Cordova Endorses Lou Correa for California’s 46th Congressional District Seat
SANTA ANA, CA— Continuing to stockpile important support for his campaign to represent California’s 46th Congressional District seat, today former State Senator Lou Correa won an endorsement from South County Labor Chair Ray Cordova.
In announcing his support of Correa’s Congressional bid, South County Labor Chair Ray Cordova stated:
“Lou Correa has built a strong record of supporting working people. He understands that the growing income inequality gap is unsustainable, and that’s why I know he is firmly committed to expanding opportunity, working to create more good paying jobs, increase investment in job-training and workforce development, and doing everything he can to bolster and strengthen our middle class. For these reasons and many more, I’m pleased to endorse Lou for Congress.”
