Did you see this news item last week? I saw it on the Hillary Clinton RSS feed that I signed up for from her site.

Announcing Hillary’s endorsement of two women legislators - Congresswoman Betty Sutton and Vermont Speaker Gaye Symington.

After two wonderful campaign events this weekend for Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden in Ohio, Hillary was on the road with Congresswoman Betty Sutton. Running for reelection in Ohio’s 13th Congressional District, Congresswoman Sutton’s experience as a labor lawyer and in three elective offices has earned her the reputation as an independent leader as well as a tenacious advocate for the people of Ohio.

“The people of Ohio’s 13th Congressional District have experienced firsthand Congresswoman Sutton’s unfailing commitment to expanding economic opportunities and creating jobs, her dedication to working families in Ohio and across this nation, and her hard work on behalf of veterans and brave soldiers,” Hillary Clinton said. “We need to keep representatives like Betty in Washington to keep up the hard fight for America’s hard-working families.”

Hillary is working hard to help elect Democrats. Like Congresswoman Sutton, Speaker Symington will work to bring the change Vermonters need after eight years of the Bush Administration. Speaker Symington has served in the Vermont House of Representatives for 12 years and has served in the role as Speaker since 2005.

“President Obama and Democrats in Congress will need strong leaders from across the country as we fight to bring about the positive change hardworking American families need. Gaye Symington is just the type of leader we need to help us break with the failed Bush policies that have hurt Vermonters for the past eight years,” said Clinton. “Gaye has a proven track record of working on the issues that I have long championed – universal healthcare, equal rights for women and minorities, providing quality education for all of our children, and strengthening our middle class.”
