Angela Gonzales-Torres Hopes to Bring International Solidarity to the U.S. House
DSA’s choice in a high-profile California congressional race hopes to build internationalism — understood as “solidarity between working people across borders” — into her service in the U.S. House, should she be elected in November.
Los Angeles DSA and DSA National have endorsed Angela Gonzales-Torres in her race to represent California’s 34th congressional district. The run-off election against embattled incumbent U.S. Rep. Jimmy Gomez will be one of the highest-profile DSA challenges on the ballot for the Nov. 3 general election.
