In a statement, Waters praise the former first lady’s readiness to tackle the nation’s economic woes.
“At a time when the economy continues to worsen and so many of my constituents are losing their homes and their jobs, we need someone with the leadership and experience who can step in on day one to tackle the economic challenges our country is facing,” Waters said. “Hillary understands the daily challenges that people are facing and she will fight for them everyday she is in the White House.”
Great statement from one of the leading Democratic voices in Washington. Waters has always been a great community organizer and grassroots activist. Hillary’s campaign will benefit with Maxine Waters’ involvement.

Maxine Waters was a major force behind Ned Lamont’s primary win — much more so than the folks who showed up to pose behind him on election night. Having her organizing on your side gets you way more at the polls that a series of fancy speeches.
