U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley said Sunday that he’ll endorse John Edwards for president. He was to officially announce the decision today in Waterloo.

Edwards had a campaign appearance scheduled for noon at Hawkeye Community College.

Braley, a freshman lawmaker from the 1st District, said he is impressed with the field of Democrats running for the nomination, but that Edwards is most likely to change America.

“John Edwards has always fought for people who don’t have a voice to speak for themselves,” Braley said in an interview with Courier Lee News Service on Sunday.
