DELANO, CA — Today, Representative Zoe Lofgren (CA-18) announced her endorsement of Dr. Jasmeet Bains for Congress in California’s 22nd Congressional District. Lofgren is Chair of the California Democratic Congressional Delegation, the largest and most diverse delegation in the House of Representatives. 

"The path to the House majority runs through California, and more specifically it's going to run through the Central Valley. Jasmeet Bains is running in one of the most competitive districts in the country, and I can't think of anyone better to take on this tough fight," Rep. Zoe Lofgren (CA-18) said. "As a physician, she has been one of the strongest leaders on healthcare in our State Assembly. While Republicans like her opponent vote for the largest healthcare cuts in history, Jasmeet is going to come to Congress with first-hand experience of what the cost of care means to her community. I know that she'll be a valuable addition to our delegation and a strong voice for Central Valley families."

“I’m deeply honored to have the support of Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a proven leader who has spent decades fighting tirelessly for Californians,” said Dr. Jasmeet Bains. “She understands the strength of Californians when we stand together. Together, we’ll keep fighting to make health care affordable, expand access to care in rural communities, and ensure the voices of working families – from the Central Valley to the Central Coast – are heard in Washington.” 

Dr. Bains’ campaign for Congress is also endorsed by EMILY’s List,  AAPI Victory Fund, Elect Democratic Women, ASPIRE PAC, Healthcare for Action, FamMed Pac, NUHW, Delano Police Officers Association, SEIU California, IBEW Local 428, Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis, eight members of the California Congressional Delegation, and dozens of community advocates and civic leaders. Last quarter, Dr. Jasmeet Bains set a record-breaking first-quarter fundraising total that outpaced every challenger in this district.
