Pennsylvania Senate Democrats Endorse Hillary Clinton for President

HOUSE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP AND MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS ENDORSE HILLARY CLINTON

Harrisburg, PA – Today the Pennsylvania House Democratic Leadership and members of the Caucus from across the Commonwealth are proud to announce their support for Hillary Clinton in advance of the April 26 Pennsylvania primary. House Democratic Leadership in Pennsylvania is proud to support a champion for working people because the Pennsylvania House Democrats have been fighting for the same values and priorities as Hillary Clinton.

“I am thrilled to stand here today with many of my colleagues to endorse Hillary Clinton for President,” said Democratic Leader Frank Dermody (D-Allegheny/Westmoreland). “House Democrats have taken on the Republican majority to put people before politics, and we know Hillary Clinton shares our goals of raising the minimum wage, ensuring women will receive equal pay for equal work, and keeping health care affordable for everyone."


Rep. Mike Schlossberg (D-Lehigh, Northeast Delegation Chair) added, “Hillary is the only candidate in this race who has the experience to do all parts of the job of President. She has plans to raise incomes, create a boom in clean energy jobs, and make college education affordable for the next generation. I’m standing with Hillary Clinton today because those are the same values that I fight for every day in the General Assembly.”

“We are here because we know that Pennsylvanians are going to play an important role in choosing the next Democratic nominee,” said Rep. Stephen Kinsey (D-Philadelphia). “Hillary Clinton has a vision for America that protects our seniors and confronts our biggest challenges
because she believes we can and must do better.”


“As the chair of the Philadelphia Delegation of the PA House Democratic Caucus,” added Rep. Maria Donatucci (D-Philadelphia), “we need a President who will continue to fight for children and families. She has been a leader for women’s equality her whole life, and I know that if Hillary is our next President she will continue to be a fighter on the issue of equal pay for equal work, and will break the glass ceiling that has held so many Americans back.”
