“She’s a person who’s fought for some very difficult things in her life and she’s honest, which you hear all the time, but she is. She’s a political outsider and I don’t think she’ll ever let us down. She’s going to work hard. She’s going to dig down and do what’s right. I think we can count on that every single time,” Stockton said.
Smiley said she was “honored” to receive the endorsement.
