Los Angeles, California — Today, Congressman Tony Cárdenas (CA-29), a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and BOLD PAC Chair, released the following statement endorsing Joe Biden for President of the United States:

"I was raised by hard-working immigrant parents who taught me that the simple ideals of integrity and dedication are the keys to success. Those same principles have guided me as I have worked hard in Congress for Californians. And, I believe honor, fairness, and dedication are paramount to creating unity and restoring the soul of our nation.

"Joe Biden has dedicated his life to public service— he is relentless in his commitment to improving the lives of working families. Joe Biden will be the President to help bring stability back to our country. Joe Biden will deliver bipartisan leadership, secure our international relationships, and make sure our economy provides for the safety and welfare of all Americans. He will bring integrity and respect back to the office of the President of the United States. I am proud to endorse Joe Biden for President."
