Rep. Al Green, a Democrat from Houston, is throwing his support behind Kamala Harris for president, bucking two home-state Democrats and a fellow member of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Green, an eight-term congressman and one of the most outspoken advocates for impeaching President Donald Trump, is the first member of the Congressional Black Caucus to endorse a presidential candidate from outside of their home state — other than the handful of CBC officials who have come out for 2020 front-runner Joe Biden.

An early supporter of Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton in 2007, Green in a statement to POLITICO pointed to Harris’ new immigration plan providing a path to citizenship for Dreamers, as well as her work as state attorney general securing billions from banks in a foreclosure settlement. Green called her “one of the foremost opponents in the Senate to the corruption of this administration.“

“Kamala Harris represents the future of our nation," Green added.
