State Rep. Joe Salazar won a key endorsement Friday in the Colorado attorney general’s race, announcing backing from former presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders.

“Now more than ever we need officials who will stand up for working families and the public interest against wealthy and powerful special interests,” Sanders, an independent from Vermont, said in a statement. “Joe’s record of progressive achievements in the legislature show that’s the kind of attorney general he will be.”

Salazar was Sanders’ highest-ranking supporter in Colorado during the 2016 presidential election cycle and is running a Sanders-esque campaign to become the state’s top law enforcement official.
