Biden Campaign Press Release - Washington Leaders Endorse Joe Biden for President

Today, Biden for President is announcing the endorsement of 16 current and former elected officials and community leaders from Washington, an influential state on the March 10 primaries.

"Today's endorsements add to the groundswell of momentum we're seeing across the country for Joe Biden, including right here in Washington," said Washington State Senator Marko Liias.
