Assemblymember Mark Leno has had a good week on the endorsement front, winning this week's battle for backing from the activist left, the sure-fire voters that may well decide this tight State Senate between him, incumbent Sen. Carole Migden, and former Assemblymember Joe Nation in the state's most liberal senate district.

DemocracyForAmerica.com, the nation's largest progressive political action organization, announced that it has endorsed Mark Leno's campaign for the California State Senate. "Mark Leno is a phenomenal candidate and a true champion of the grassroots. Democracy for America is proud to endorse his campaign," said Jim Dean, Chair of DFA. "Mark Leno has a long record as an effective and dynamic progressive."

DFA doesn't have a whole lot of members in California, but it does have an aggressive national netroots network. That's likely to help Leno down the final stretch of the campaign with much-needed cash.
