Rep. Luis Gutierrez To Endorse Hillary Clinton Ahead Of Her Appearance At Immigration Conference

Illinois Rep. Luis Gutierrez, a key figure in the fight for Obama’s executive actions on immigration last year, will announce his endorsement of Hillary Clinton Monday morning in an op-ed on Univision ahead of their joint appearance at a national immigration conference in Brooklyn, New York, in the afternoon.

In a statement to BuzzFeed News, Luis Gutierrez emphasized uniting the Democratic coalition. Women, Latino, labor, LGBT, Asians, African-Americans, environmental, working-class, and middle-class voters — “all of the groups the Republicans push away — none of us can win unless we work together,” he said. “We each need each other and Hillary Clinton is the leader who will unite us. Together we are a winning coalition that moves America forward.
