PHILADELPHIA, PA – Pennsylvania for Hillary today announced over 270 local elected officials from across the Keystone State endorsed Hillary for President.  These local level endorsements include leaders such as members of congress, city council members, county commissioners, state representatives, and state committee members, and demonstrate Hillary’s momentum and support in the Keystone State.

 “Hillary Clinton will fight for the new, good jobs we need to jumpstart our economy and will stand up for working people in Pennsylvania,” said Joe Hoeffel, Montgomery County Commissioner.  “We have seen her criss cross Pennsylvania visiting small towns and big cities presenting solutions, not just rhetoric, to the many problems facing our country.  We proudly stand behind Hillary and will echo her promise to fight for Pennsylvania families.”

"I am honored to receive the endorsements from an overwhelming number of local elected officials in Pennsylvania,” Hillary said. “They know best what is needed for their local communities from the next president -- a proven fighter.  I look forward to working with them to put our country back on track.”
