Hahn picks up SEIU endorsement in California's special House election

[Freddie Stubbs]

Los Angeles City Councilwoman Janice Hahn (D) continues to pick up key endorsements in the special election race for former Rep. Jane Harman's (D-Calif.) seat.

Hahn, who was backed by the majority of delegates at the California Democratic Party's special election caucus in Torrance on Saturday, was endorsed by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) on Tuesday.

"Workers have been unfairly blamed for this recession -- when the reality is that it was caused by greedy Wall Street bankers," Hahn said in a statement. "When I go to Congress, I will be the voice for the working middle class, and I will be a fighter for more good paying jobs."

Hahn's main Democratic rival, Secretary of State Debra Bowen, has been backed by former DNC Chairman Howard Dean, the California League of Conservation Voters and Equality California PAC.
