*** Alex Padilla has been endorsed for Secretary of State by the CDP ***
President Trump’s press conference today with Vladimir Putin was as disgraceful as it is dangerous.
Trump’s shameful performance today only serves to undermine election officials who are working to secure our free and fair elections from further attacks from Russia.
I am appalled that President Trump would side with Vladimir Putin over our national security and intelligence community. He has completely failed in his obligation to defend and protect American democracy.
Next, please share this message with family, friends, and colleagues so they too can join our efforts.
We must stand together and denounce Trump for his shameful stance.
Thank you in advance for your action,
Alex Padilla
California Secretary of State and
Chair, Democratic Association of Secretaries of State
