Mattox, Chapman, Barrientos Endorse Clinton

Several legendary Texas political figures have this week endorsed Hillary Clinton for President: former Congressman and Texas AG Jim Mattox, former Congressman Jim Chapman and former State Sen. Gonzalo Barrientos (D-Austin).

Here are a few quotes from the endorsement press release:

“In Texas we have a phrase, ‘she’s earned her spurs.’ Hillary has spent more than 35 years earning her spurs and she is the best leader for our country,” said General Mattox. “Whether working for universal health care or passing legislation to protect our nation’s veterans, Hillary has spent a lifetime fighting for the American people. Hillary does more than just deliver beautiful speeches, she delivers results.”

[...]
“Hillary is a strong leader who represents the values that are important to the people of our great state—hard work, faith, and commitment to family. Whether fighting for universal health care or working to protect our nation’s children, Hillary has proven time and time again she is a leader who can deliver results. She’s a work horse, not a show horse and in uncertain times we need a President with tested leadership who can hit the ground running on day one. For more than 35 years, Hillary has produced positive change and there is no one I would trust more with the future of our country. I urge the people of Texas to stand with Hillary on March 5th.”

[...]
“Hillary has a long history fighting for the American people and I am proud to support her today. Whether working to protect voter rights or fighting for universal health care, Hillary has consistently demonstrated that she values the issues that are important to the Hispanic community. We need a leader who has the strength and experience to lead on day one. Hillary doesn’t just talk about change, she delivers change. My brothers and sisters, I urge you to stand in support of Hillary, so together we can help make history.”
