Seven Former Maryland Democratic Party Chairs Endorse Hillary Clinton
Today,
seven former Chairs of the Maryland Democratic Party endorsed Hillary
Clinton, citing her track record of getting results for families and
breaking down barriers for all communities. These party leaders
announced their support for Hillary Clinton, who they believe will best
unite the Democratic Party and work to elect Democratic candidates up
and down the ticket.
"Hillary
Clinton has shown repeatedly that she will not back down from a tough
fight," said Yvette Lewis, chair
from 2011 to 2015 from Prince
George's County. "I have decided to support Hillary Clinton
because she
is a committed, compassionate public servant who has spent her career
fighting for women, children, and working families."
"I'm
supporting Hillary Clinton because she is a doer and is focused on
getting things done," said Terry
Lierman, chair from 2004 to 2007
and former Chief of Staff to Congressman Steny Hoyer. "She
fought to
provide health care for all, she understands how Washington can and
should work, and has a lifetime of dedication to working for all to
have the opportunity of achieving what they are capable of achieving."
"Hillary
Clinton has been an ally of Maryland families for the last several
decades," said Ike Leggett, chair
from 2002 to 2004 and current
Montgomery County Executive. "She has put forth policy
proposals
that will help families get the leg up they need, and she's tough
enough to keep working until she gets results for all Marylanders."
