San Fernando Valley Rep. Tony Cardenas will seek a House leadership position in 2021 to replace Rep. Ben Ray Lujan (D-N.M.), who is running for U.S. Senate.
San Fernando Valley Rep. Tony Cárdenas says he will run for a House leadership position in 2021, becoming the first lawmaker to announce interest in replacing Rep. Ben Ray Lujan , currently the only Latino in leadership, who is giving up his seat to run for the U.S. Senate in November.
“I feel I could do some amazing work there,” Cárdenas, 57, said. “Being at the leadership table, you have a bigger say-so and you carry the weight of your colleagues’ opinions and priorities on your shoulders and I’m willing to do that.” Lujan said Cárdenas’ perspective as a child of immigrants, and as an advocate for Latino issues, would be valuable in leadership, especially if Democrats win the White House and move to address immigration.“I would be proud to support Tony. I think it’s critically important that we have strong leaders at the table,” Lujan said. “Tony has never forgotten his roots, never forgotten the sacrifices made by his family. That’s important to have that perspective at the leadership table.
