Former President Bill Clinton will formally endorse congressional candidate Raul Ruiz at a rally in Irvine this week.
According to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Clinton will appear at a "California’s Voice" event at UC Irvine to endorse Democratic congressional candidates in Southern California.
Besides Ruiz, Clinton will endorse Julia Brownley (CA-26/Ventura), Alan Lowenthal (CA-47/Long Beach), Scott Peters (CA-52/San Diego) and Mark Takano (CA-41/Riverside), the DCCC said.
The event will be held at the Bren Center on Tuesday, Oct. 23, at 5 p.m.
Ruiz is hoping to unseat Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack, who's held the Palm Springs district since 1998.
