Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) is endorsing Hillary Clinton for president. In a conference call with reporters today, Waters said:

Hillary Clinton is a no-nonsense, articulate and experienced public-policy maker. ... I believe Hillary Clinton has the knowledge and experience to understand not only the needs of my constituents, but all constituents. ... Our party must be led by somebody who is capable of carrying out the dreams and aspirations of all Americans.

Clinton was also on the call, and responded to the endorsement:

I am so pleased to have Maxine Waters in this campaign with me because she is a fighter. ... People have to know you're willing to take a stand, and time and time again, that is what she's done. ... I look forward to campaigning with her in the days ahead.
