The Democratic mayor of Tucson, Ariz., announced her endorsement of 2020 presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Tuesday.

Regina Romero, the first Latina mayor of Tucson, made the announcement days before the Nevada caucuses, where the Latino vote is the largest among the early-voting states, as part of the launch of “Latinas En la Lucha,” a campaign to engage Latino voters for Warren.

“At every point in our nation’s history Latinas have fought for social justice, for racial justice, for women’s reproductive justice, from Sylvia River to Dolores Huerta,” Romero said. “Our country has proved that when Latinas fight, Latinas win. That’s why today we are launching Latinas En la Lucha — a group of Latinas fighting for Elizabeth Warren.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), has polled well above Warren among Latino voters in multiple surveys and has launched similar campaigns and events focused on courting the Latino vote.
