Baca touts endorsements from 30 House Dems

By Mario Trujillo

Former Rep. Joe Baca (D-Calif.) is touting 30 endorsements from former House colleagues in a bid to retake a seat in Congress, despite lacking support from the national party.

Earlier this week, Baca’s Democratic primary opponent touted the support of 12 House members.

Redlands, Calif., Mayor Pete Aguilar, Baca’s opponent, has already sealed support from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. The DCCC chairman Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) recently told The Hill he considers Aguilar to be the better candidate.

Baca, a 12-year veteran of the House, touts Assistant Democratic Leader James Clyburn (D-S.C.) as his highest-ranking House supporter.
