Well, you've got to start somewhere.
In his uphill battle against Hillary Clinton, former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley has got the endorsement of Dallas Council member Phillip Kingston for the Democratic presidential nomination.
"Governor O'Malley's record of progressive policy successes in executive roles is unmatched," according Kingston's prepared statement distributed by O'Malley's campaign. I have spent time with him, and on issues from Wall Street to war, he is the future."
O'Malley, the former Maryland governor, is running in the Democratic race for president against Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Clinton is far ahead in the national polls and is expected to win the March 1 Texas primary by a wide margin.
She's supported by numerous big-name Democrats, including state Sen. Royce West of Dallas.
Kingston is a council member from District 14, which includes parts of downtown Dallas, Oak Lawn and the M Streets.
O'Malley is planning to campaign in Texas on January 26.
