COMPTON, CA- Broadening her support beyond elected leaders, grassroots activists, labor groups, Democratic Clubs, and Party loyalists, today Congresswoman Janice Hahn scored an endorsement from the Compton Latino Chamber of Commerce, an organization dedicated to helping small Latino owned businesses in Compton, CA.

“Congresswoman Janice Hahn truly understands that small businesses make up the bulk of jobs in our country, and she recognizes that the way to rebuild our fallen economy is to help small businesses flourish and expand, so they can hire more workers,” said Frank Acevedo, newly elected President of Compton Latino Chamber of Commerce. “As a member of the Small Business Committee, she’s been a passionate advocate for increased assistance and investments that will help promote growth for small businesses, which as a result, will allow them to be successful and create more jobs. We are confident that she’ll continue to be a strong voice for the small business community in Congress, and that’s why the members of the executive committee and I are pleased to join her re-election campaign.”

“Today’s endorsement from the Compton Latino Chamber of Commerce helps to illustrate the growing and wide-ranging support behind my re-election campaign,” said Congresswoman Hahn. “Job creation and economic development are at the forefront of the issues I’m fighting for everyday in Congress, and I look forward to joining forces with the Compton Latino Chamber of Commerce to help provide the necessary aid to small businesses, so they can grow and generate much needed jobs.”

Hahn’s Army of Grassroots Delegates Vote to Recommend Her for Party’s Endorsement

WILMINGTON, CA- The California Democratic Party (CDP) held its ‘Pre-Endorsement’ conference meeting today at the Wilmington Senior Citizen Center, where the party’s officially elected or appointed delegates for California’s new 44^th Congressional District voted to recommend Congresswoman Janice Hahn for the California Democratic Party’s (CDP) formal endorsement at the upcoming party convention in February.

Today’s conference included, Democratic State Central Committee (DSCC) members (Delegates), County Central Committee Members, and local Democratic Club appointed representatives.

Out of a total of 72 delegates, 57 (79.16%) voted for Hahn, while only a mere 13 (18.06%) voted for Hahn’s opponent, Congresswoman Richardson.

“I was thrilled to participate in today’s vote at the pre-endorsement conference,” said Congresswoman Hahn. “And, I am truly ecstatic about the results. These delegates represent the heart and soul of the Democratic Party, our ideals, our values, and the broad platform of issues that we, as Democrats, care deeply about. Their decisively strong vote today will echo across this district, to the upcoming convention, and all the way to Washington.”

According to the California Democratic Party’s (CDP) bylaws, candidates need to secure at least 70% of the total votes cast at the Pre-Endorsement conference to receive a recommendation for endorsement at the upcoming CDP convention.

Due to Congresswoman Hahn’s strong showing, acquiring 79% of the vote, her endorsement recommendation will be placed on the CDP’s consent calendar for a ratification vote by the delegates at the upcoming CDP convention, in San Diego.

In recent weeks prior to today’s conference, Hahn has been strengthening her re-election bid, and has built an army of grassroots supporters including local activists and local Democratic Club members spanning throughout the district.

Her recent endorsements have come from four consecutive Democratic Clubs, including the Long Beach Lambda Democratic Club (voted 100% for Hahn) as well as, the Mexican-American Democratic Club (voted 100% for Hahn), Long Beach Democratic Women’s Study Club (voted over 70% for Hahn), and the San Pedro Democratic Club (voted 100% for Hahn).
