CA-25: Clinton endorses Democrat in California special House election

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton endorsed California State Assemblywoman Christy Smith (D) in the upcoming election to fill former Rep. Katie Hill's (D-Calif.) House seat.

"There’s a key special election coming up in California on May 12, and I’m happy to support [Christy Smith]," Clinton tweeted on Friday. "Christy has been an effective public servant from the school board to the CA Assembly, and we need her in Congress. Help her protect this seat!"

Smith will face off against Republican Mike Garcia, a former Navy fighter pilot, in a race that will be held entirely through vote-by-mail amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The Cook Political Report has moved the race from "lean Democratic" to "toss-up."
