In a conference call this morning Congresswoman Maxine Waters of CA-35 strongly endorsed Hillary Clinton. Summarizing Ms. Waters, she said that HRC had traveled the country listening to the problems of the people. She knew the problems of the urban population and the small towns as well.
It was a strongly worded endorsement. I have not found a transcript yet as this conference call started at just 10:30AM Pacific.
In response to a question HRC said California "is always about the future." Later in the same answer she said, "California is in the solutions business."
Congresswoman Waters said she believed that Hillary Clinton had both the ability to inspire dreams and also the ability to make those dreams come true.
Throughout the conference call there was no mention of any other candidate and no effort to be combative toward anyone.
HRC seemed very happy to have this endorsement. She said she knew Maxine Water's history of speaking truth to power and being nationally known for leading efforts to solve problems.
"They were both, she said, "people who get up in the morning thinking of how to make things better for the people."
