Senator Blanche Lincoln Endorses Hillary
The Clinton campaign today announced that U.S. Senator Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas has endorsed Hillary Clinton for President. The announcement comes just two days after Hillary’s strong showing on Super Tuesday, when she won the popular vote and won states from Massachusetts to California. Hillary had a particularly strong showing in Arkansas, winning the state by a 40-point margin.
In a statement on her endorsement, Senator Lincoln notes that Hillary is ready to tackle the challenges facing the nation.
“Hillary and I have worked together on issues affecting children and families since we both went to Washington in 1993. She understands that by strengthening our working families, we are strengthening our nation. She is well equipped to lead our country through the economic difficulties that lie ahead,” said Senator Lincoln.
“I am honored to have the support of Senator Lincoln, who has been a longtime champion for children and families,” said Clinton. “When we take back the office on January 2009, we’re going to roll up our sleeves and solve the problems that our nation faces. I look forward to working with leaders like Senator Lincoln to get our country back on track and deliver the change our country needs.”
