May 02, 2008

(Charleston, WV) - The Clinton campaign announced the support of 11 West Virginia lawmakers today from across the Mountain state. The State Senators and Delegates endorsing Clinton represent diverse districts and are committed to working in their communities to make Hillary successful in the upcoming primary.

"I support Hillary because she is ready to lead America. Her experience speaks for itself. Clinton will jumpstart the economy and help hardworking Americans get ahead - without putting our country further into debt. She has the strength and experience to get us back on track," said House Delegate Richard Browning, Chairman of the Joint Committee on Pensions and Retirement.

"Sen. Clinton understands the importance of agriculture and rural development to West Virginia and the United States. We need a president who will lead this country back to prosperity. We can't afford to wait. Hillary Clinton has the strength and experience to lead on day one in the White House," said House Delegate Bob Tabb, Vice Chair of the Committee on Agriculture.

"I am proud to support Hillary Clinton because she is the only candidate with a health care plan that covers everyone.
