Former Congressional Black Caucus Chairwoman, Marcia Fudge, Endorses Hillary Clinton [View all]

Hillary Clinton is the early favorite as the Democratic presidential candidate, and now she has the support of one of Ohio’s most outspoken Democratic voices.

Rep. Marcia Fudge, of Warrensville Heights, announced Wednesday that she is publicly endorsing Clinton’s campaign for president.

“We are at a point in our nation’s history when the right leadership is needed more than ever,” said a statement from Fudge. “Hillary has spent her life advocating for poor and working class families.

“Hillary will help build an economy for tomorrow and beyond; strengthen America’s families; defend our country and its core values; and revitalize our democracy. In other words, she gets it. Hillary understands the issues that matter to people in my district and around the country, like income equality, women’s rights and universal voter registration. Hillary is the best candidate for the job.”
