U.S. Rep. Filemon Vela, D-Brownsville, endorsed Joe Biden for president Tuesday, choosing the former vice president over his Texas friends Julian Castro and Beto ORourke, who are also running for president.
Love em, Vela said in a text message, but Im with Tío Joe.
Vela, who entered the U.S. House of Representatives the same day as ORourke and who campaigned for ORourke during his near-miss U.S. Senate run last year, broke with his Rio Grande Valley colleague, U.S. Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, D-McAllen, who endorsed Castro in March. Vela has said, however, that he donated to Castro and ORourkes campaigns when they announced their 2020 bids earlier this year.
America needs Joe Biden, Vela said in a statement. Joe Biden will restore our nations spirit and make America feel good again. Joe Biden will use his enduring record of fighting for the working and middle-class Americans and reinvigorate Americas soul.
