Congressman Adam Gray Endorses Assemblymember Esmeralda Soria for State Senate
Central Valley leader backs Soria as the proven choice for District 14
MERCED, CA – Today, Assemblymember Esmeralda Soria announced the endorsement of Congressman Adam Gray, a respected voice for the Central Valley in Washington and a longtime advocate for rural communities, water access, and working families.
“Esmeralda Soria has proven that she can deliver for the Valley,” said Congressman Gray. “She’s results-driven, deeply rooted in our communities, and she’s not afraid to take on tough fights to make progress. We need leaders who’ve shown they can get things done. That’s why I’m proud to endorse Esmeralda Soria for State Senate.”
Gray’s exclusive endorsement reinforces Soria’s position as the clear choice of leaders across the Central Valley and the state. As a Fresno City Councilmember and now in the State Assembly, Soria has consistently turned local priorities into real progress, from funding healthcare access and education to delivering infrastructure and water investments where they’re needed most.
“I’m grateful for Congressman Gray’s endorsement and for the trust he’s placed in our campaign,” said Assemblymember Soria. “This race is about who can show up, listen, and deliver real results and I’m proud of the track record we’ve built together in the Valley. I’m ready to keep pushing forward in the State Senate.”
Gray joins a growing list of prominent local, regional, and statewide leaders backing Soria’s campaign, including labor organizations, educators, law enforcement associations, and dozens of local elected officials across Fresno, Merced, and Madera counties.
