San Francisco, CA – On the heels of announcing a 16-point lead in a recent poll, Eleni Kounalakis’ campaign announced the endorsement of President Barack Obama, who made a wave of endorsements today ahead of the midterm elections.
“Serving as U.S. Ambassador for nearly four years was the greatest honor and privilege of my life, and I couldn’t be more humbled and grateful to have President Obama’s support,” said Kounalakis. “I so strongly believe our future depends on strengthening our Democracy and ensuring California can be America’s beacon for inclusion, equality and progress. As California’s next Lt. Governor, I will fight hard every single day to keep the pathway of the American Dream open to more families.”
