Most of the attention today is focused on races with primaries, but Don Barber doesn't need a primary opponent to make news. Today, his campaign announced that Senator Hillary Clinton is endorsing him:
Clinton praised Barber's campaign for taking on the special interests and battling for the middle class.
In her statement, Clinton said, "Don Barber is a farmer who knows how to protect our precious environment. He's a businessman who knows how to revitalize the upstate economy. He's running a vibrant, grassroots campaign and taking on the special interests that have blocked health care reform. I know Don Barber will put the interests of middle class, working families first. His voice is sorely needed in the New York State Senate. He has my full support."
Barber thanked Sen. Clinton."I deeply appreciate this support and recognition from Senator Clinton. I am honored to add her endorsement to our list of supporters. This shows the depth and breadth of the excitement our campaign is generating."
Add this heavy-hitter endorsement to the other endorsements that Don has been racking up, like this one and these two, and you can see why people think Barber's campaign is gaining ground. |
