Harris gets 1st Iowa endorsement from Democratic activist

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — White House hopeful Kamala Harris has nabbed her first Iowa endorsement from a major state Democratic activist.
Jean Hessburg, a former Iowa Democratic Party executive director and the current chair of the party’s Women’s Caucus, told The Associated Press that she’s endorsing Harris because “she’s tough, she’s got heart. She’s quick on her feet, she’s sharp as they come and great on all the issues.”
The senator from California said in a statement she was proud of the endorsement.
“Women will be a deciding voice in the 2020 Iowa Caucuses and I will do all I can to earn their support,” Harris said.
Hessburg hadn’t spoken to Harris before she endorsed her — she saw the senator during a televised town hall and was impressed that she seemed “quite at ease with her positions ... and unflappable, which I think someone has to be against Donald Trump.” She reached out to the Harris campaign and offered her support, which turned into an endorsement.
