Today, U.S. Senator Hillary
Rodham Clinton (D-NY) endorsed Sam Bennett for Congress to represent Pennsylvania’s
15th congressional district.
“Sam is someone who knows how to roll up her sleeves and get things done
for people in her community, and she
will bring that same dedication with her to Washington,” said Senator Clinton. “The Lehigh Valley needs positive solutions and real
change and Sam Bennett will join the Obama-Biden team in making that happen.”
“I
am so grateful to have Hillary Clinton’s support,” said Bennett.
“For 35 years, she’s been a
vocal advocate and leader for women and families, fighting every day to make good on what she calls
the basic bargain – if you work hard and you're responsible, you deserve every opportunity to succeed.”
Bennett added,
“Together, we can rescue our country
from the Wall Street economic crisis with a plan that ensures aggressive
oversight, keeps people in their
homes, and helps taxpayers protect
their retirement savings.”
