Kamala Harris
U.S. Vice President

“I am proud to endorse Christy Smith, who is part of an accomplished slate of Californians up and down the ballot who are committed to, along with our Administration, deliver results on behalf of working families, confronting the climate crisis, lowering health care costs, and other critical priorities. The stakes are high this year and I am confident Christy Smith will stand up for the values we hold dear.”

Steny_Hoyer,_official_photo_as_Whip.jpeg

Steny H. Hoyer
U.S. House Majority Leader

“Christy Smith is an effective, forward-thinking leader and a proven fighter who has delivered for her community. During her time on the school board and in the State Assembly, she passed measures to invest in public schools and keep her community safe. In Congress, Christy will defend our country from MAGA extremists and help our Caucus lower costs for working families, protect Social Security and Medicare, ensure reproductive rights, combat the climate crisis, and build safer communities.”

Katherine Clark_Portrait_No Pin.jpg

Katherine Clark
U.S. Assistant Speaker of the House

“I am proud to endorse Christy Smith in her campaign for California’s 27th Congressional District. Christy is a proven leader who knows how to bring people together to solve the critical problems facing her community. As an Assemblywoman, former school board member, and local education activist, Christy invested in local public schools, confronted the increasing wildfire threat, and passed commonsense gun safety measures. In Congress, Christy will use the same determination and innovative vision to deliver for Americans on issues families talk about around their kitchen tables, including cutting costs, creating good paying jobs, ensuring reproductive freedoms, protecting Social Security and Medicare, and building safer communities. I look forward to helping Christy get elected and welcoming her to the House Democratic Caucus.”

“We need Christy Smith in Congress. In the State Legislature, Christy proved herself as a bold, effective representative on behalf of her constituents, working to provide PPE and economic aid to frontline workers during the pandemic, combat climate change, fully fund public schools, and ensure our economy works for everyone. There is no candidate in the race more qualified or better equipped to lead the charge in Washington, and I know she will take that same drive and unyielding commitment with her to represent the people of California’s 27th district.”

“Christy Smith is a champion for public schools. Her background and record as president of the Newhall School Board and in the California State Assembly demonstrates that she is not only extraordinarily qualified to serve, but that she will also be a force for good in Congress. I know that Christy will work hard in Washington to ensure that we invest more in our public schools so that our students can get a world-class education and our classroom teachers and school employees can receive the pay and benefits that allow them to thrive and live a good middle-class life. Christy has my full, enthusiastic support.”

I am confident she will bring the same effective approach and common-sense agenda to Congress to address the challenges facing the people of California's 27th District, as well as our nation—including reproductive rights, climate action, gun safety, cost of living, and protections for our democracy. The 27th District will greatly benefit from Christy’s bold leadership, and she has my support 100%.”

I know that in Congress, Christy will continue to be a powerful voice for her district who is committed to advancing innovative climate action, codifying reproductive rights, cutting costs for working families, and defending our democracy. I’m with her 100%.”
