Chicago, IL –
Today, California DNC Member and superdelegate Ed Espinoza endorsed
Barack Obama, citing his judgment, character, and ability to unite our
country for change.
Espinoza is
the 268th superdelegate to endorse Barack Obama. Obama is 163 delegates
away from securing the Democratic nomination.
Espinoza
said, “I am endorsing Barack Obama today because throughout this
process I have seen him show a judgment and character that we need in
our next president. From day one he opposed the Iraq war and has
a
plan to end the war in a responsible way and bring our sons and
daughters home. He has shown he has the character to lead our
great
nation, from his choice to spend his career serving people in the
poorest communities in Chicago to his commitment to speaking truth to
the American people, even when it isn’t politically convenient to do
so. To unify the country at this time in our history we need a
president who has these qualities, and that is why I am proud to
endorse him today. My good friend Bill Richardson, who backed Obama
some weeks ago, knows what it takes to lead and I trust his judgment in
this decision as well. I look forward to working with this great
movement to bring victory in November.”
