Sen. Elizabeth Warren is Set to Speak in Glendale as Candidates Hit Campaign Trail

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is set to speak Monday night in Glendale, California at what is billed as an organizing event for her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.

The doors will open at the Alex Theatre at 6 p.m., with the event beginning at 7 p.m. Admission will be first-come, first-served. Capacity at the Alex Theatre is 1,413.

Warren bills her campaign as "a grassroots movement to fight for big structural change."

In her final tweets Sunday, Warren said, "Our fight is to change the rules so that our government, our economy, and our democracy work for everyone in Nevada and across the country. "It's time for Democrats to declare who we are. We are the party of the people. We are the party that believes that every kid should get a fighting chance to build a future. We're going to take 2020 as our chance to build a movement and change this country for the better." California is the fourth state Warren will visit in just over a three-day span.

She was in South Carolina and Georgia Saturday and Nevada Sunday.

Nevada and South Carolina will hold early contests that could be crucial in deciding the nominee or at least winnowing down the field.

"As Elizabeth Warren brings her 2020 apology tour to the Golden State, she's desperately hoping voters will forget about the disastrous handling of her false heritage claims that has clouded her campaign," said Christiana Purves, a Republican National Committee regional communications director.

"Californians won't be fooled by her political ambitions and will reject her harmful agenda to raise taxes and push government-run healthcare."

California has moved its presidential primary from June to March to have more impact on the nominating process, although the vast majority of candidate visits over the next few months are expected to primarily be for fundraising.

Warren is the first candidate for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination to have an event in the Los Angeles area that is open to the public without an admission charge.

California Sen. Kamala Harris conducted two fundraisers in the Westside Feb. 2, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand had a series of events with potential contributors in January and entrepreneur Andrew Yang held a fundraiser near the Beverly Center on Nov. 3.

Warren was elected to the Senate in 2012 and re-elected in November.

Warren was chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel for the Troubled Asset Relief Program from 2008-10 and an assistant to then-President Barack Obama and special adviser to then-Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from 2010-11.

Warren was an early supporter of creation of the bureau to hold Wall Street banks and other financial institutions accountable.

She was a law professor for more than 30 years, including nearly 20 at the Harvard Law School, teaching courses on commercial law, contracts and bankruptcy.

Several Democratic presidential candidates are closing out the long holiday weekend on the campaign trail, with stops planned across states key to securing their party's nomination. On Presidents Day, much of the campaign trail spotlight moved to New Hampshire, home to the first presidential primary.

Three candidates, Sens. Kamala Harris of California, Cory Booker of New Jersey and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, planned to campaign in the state.

Booker has been in New Hampshire for a few days and will wrap up his trip with a house party in Nashua. House parties are a staple of campaigning in the state.

Harris planned an afternoon town hall in Portsmouth and will participate in the Politics & Eggs breakfast on Tuesday.

Klobuchar will hold a meet-and-greet in Goffstown on Monday before a CNN town hall.

Meanwhile, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York was back in Iowa, the leadoff caucus state, with plans to meet voters in Cedar Rapids and Iowa City.

Former Rep. John Delaney of Maryland, who also is running for president, was campaigning in Iowa as well.
