Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi Endorses Kendrick Meek for Congress

Today, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi officially announced her endorsement of Kendrick Meek for Congress. Speaker Pelosi emphasized Meek's deep-rooted commitment to public service, his progressive platform, and the vital need for strong, experienced leadership in Washington.

"Kendrick Meek is exactly the progressive leader that South Florida needs right now, and I am proud to offer him my full endorsement," said Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi. "The continuing threats to Black representation in Congress — and especially in the South — make this race absolutely critical. We simply must send the strongest fighter to represent this District in Washington. Kendrick’s grandmother, the legendary Carrie Meek, and I were allies and seatmates on the Appropriations Committee where I saw firsthand the fierce dedication that she had for her community. That same fight courses through Kendrick’s veins. I have no doubt that Kendrick will be an unyielding champion for equity, justice and progress as the representative for Florida's 24th District in the Congress."

"Speaker Pelosi is a true hero of mine, and she certainly knows a thing or two about taking on Donald Trump," said Kendrick Meek. "I’m deeply honored to receive her endorsement and to have her support in this campaign. She has shown us all what it looks like to lead with courage, hold power accountable, and fight for the American people. In Congress, I will bring that same relentless energy to stand up for our values, lower costs for families, and protect our freedoms."

Florida’s 24th Congressional District spans across the heart of northern Miami-Dade and southern Broward counties.
