Today, Arizona Congressman Ruben Gallego released the following statement endorsing Joe Biden for the President of the United States:

"This election will be one of the most consequential in our lifetime. With the Arizona Primary less than two weeks away, I'm proud to endorse Joe Biden for President. As a combat veteran I can think of no better leader to serve as our Commander in Chief. On day one Joe will immediately be able to get to work getting our country back on track and delivering for American families. Representing a growing, vibrant, and diverse region in Congress, Donald Trump's reckless attacks on immigrants, health care, and our environment are deeply personal. I know Joe Biden has the wisdom, experience, compassion, and empathy to beat Donald Trump and get our government working again."
