The Clinton campaign announced today that it has the support of 25 superdelegates in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The list of supporters includes 21 Democratic National Committee (DNC) members, including Barbara Easterling of Virginia who pledged her support to Hillary today, as well as, Governor Martin O'Malley, U.S. Senator Barbara Mikulski, and Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger.

"DNC members have an important role to play in this nominating process.

"I am proud to endorse Hillary Clinton, because she has the experience to solve the problems our country faces. She will end the war in Iraq, provide health care for all Americans, fix our economy, and bring about the change we need."

"I am honored to have the support of Barbara and all the DNC members and elected officials who will have a voice at our national convention," said Clinton.
