Warren unveils list of new Texas endorsements as presidential race heats up

[RandySF]

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren is unveiling her first major round of endorsements ahead of a Texas primary that is becoming increasingly contested by some top-tier Democratic presidential candidates.

In an announcement first shared with The Texas Tribune, Warren’s campaign unveiled an endorsement list that now includes three state representatives, several Texas city council members and political organizers.

The three San Antonio City Council members on the list were part of the first wave of Texans who last year supported Julián Castro, the former U.S. housing secretary and San Antonio mayor who dropped his White House bid earlier this month and quickly endorsed Warren as the Democratic nominee.

Warren has been the most proactive candidate in building a formal organization here, but fellow candidate Joe Biden has been leading the way in endorsements. The former vice president unveiled his own list of new endorsers earlier this week — a lineup that included eight people who had previously been with Castro.
