Former Labor Secretary Robert B. Reich Endorses Bernie Sanders for President

Former Labor Secretary Robert B. Reich Endorses Bernie Sanders for President

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Democratic Party presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Friday welcomed an endorsement by former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert B. Reich.

“I endorse Bernie Sanders for president of the United States,” Reich wrote. “He’s leading a movement to reclaim America for the many, not the few. And such a political mobilization – a 'political revolution,' as he puts it – is the only means by which we can get the nation back from the moneyed interests that now control so much of our economy and democracy.

“This extraordinary concentration of income, wealth, and political power at the very top imperils all else – our economy, our democracy, the revival of the American middle class, the prospects for the poor and for people of color, the necessity of slowing and reversing climate change, and a sensible foreign policy not influenced by the 'military-industrial complex,' as President Dwight Eisenhower once called it. It is the fundamental prerequisite: We have little hope of achieving positive change on any front unless the American people are once again in control.

“I have the deepest respect and admiration for Hillary Clinton, and if she wins the Democratic primary I’ll work my heart out to help her become president. But I believe Bernie Sanders is the agent of change this nation so desperately needs,” Reich concluded.

Campaigning in South Carolina, Sanders welcomed the endorsement. “Bob Reich was one of the most effective secretaries of labor in modern American history. He is one of the foremost economic thinkers in this country focusing on income inequality and the needs of working people. In 2002, he ran a great campaign for governor of Massachusetts. I am proud and delighted to have the support of Robert Reich.”

Reich – a professor and author – was secretary of labor under President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1997. He previously served in the administrations of Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter.

Donald J. Trump Endorsed by Maine Governor Paul LePage

Donald J. Trump Endorsed by Maine Governor Paul LePage   

(New York, NY) February 26th, 2016 – Today Donald J. Trump received the endorsement of Maine Governor Paul R. LePage. This announcement comes immediately following the endorsement of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.

Mr. Trump stated, “I am proud to receive Governor LePage’s endorsement. He will be a great asset as we continue to campaign across the country, and I’m grateful for his support.”

"I am pleased today to announce my endorsement of Donald J. Trump, the next President of the United States," said Governor LePage. "Mr. Trump is the only candidate who is funding his own campaign and who will break the grip special interests now have on Washington, D.C. Mr. Trump's successful business record demonstrates he can create jobs for out-of-work Americans. Instead of delivering favors for corporate donors, like the other candidates in this race, he will fight to improve the lives of the American people.”

“Mr. Trump is the only candidate who has talked about bringing back our manufacturing jobs, returning foreign investments to the United States and finally securing our immigration system," added Governor LePage. "Here in Maine, we have seen firsthand the burdens imposed by politicians who allow illegal immigrants to take advantage of our hardworking taxpayers. Mr. Trump is the only candidate talking about reducing these burdens and helping Americans first.”
