Warren endorses 20 Democratic women for down-ballot races

Included among the endorsees are women running in some of the most-watched House races in the country, including Democratic Reps. Sharice Davids (Kans.), Lauren Underwood (Ill.), Abby Finkenauer (Iowa) and Katie Porter (Calif.), all of whom flipped GOP seats in 2018.

Warren is also backing a number of non-incumbents, including Christy Smith, who is running to replace former Rep. Katie Hill (Calif.), Gina Ortiz Jones, who is campaigning to replace outgoing Rep. Will Hurd (R-Texas), and Candace Valenzuela, who is running in another GOP-held seat in Texas.

Nebraska Democrat Kara Eastman is also included in the list of endorsees. Eastman, a progressive, is running in a competitive primary against a moderate Democrat to win the chance to face off against Rep. Don Bacon (R) in November.

The endorsements also cover a number of local races, including Sarah McBride, a transgender activist running for a state Senate seat in Delaware, a contest Warren says will be particularly important in during the coronavirus pandemic.
