OHIO CONGRESSMAN TIM RYAN ENDORSES CHRIS DODD FOR PRESIDENT
WASHINGTON - Citing Dodd's longstanding commitment to America's middle class, leadership on ending the war in Iraq, and ability to deliver results, today Congressman Tim Ryan (D-OH) endorsed Chris Dodd for President. Ryan, who was first elected in 2002, is a rising star in Congress who was selected by Speaker Pelosi in 2006 to join the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee, and serves on the Appropriations Committee.
"Chris Dodd has the clarity, conviction and record of action that I believe makes him the best choice to be the next President of the United States," said Congressman Ryan. "His record in the Senate proves that when he sits in the White House, he will end the War in Iraq and the investments he makes in America will make our nation stronger and make Americans more competitive in the global economy."
"I am pleased and honored to have Congressman Ryan's support," said Dodd. "Tim's commitment to America's middle class and the people of Ohio is exemplary, and his energy and drive that have made him rise to prominence in such a short amount of time will be an incredible asset to my campaign. I am also deeply honored by this endorsement because Tim and I share a conclusion that the War in Iraq has made us less secure and a determination to do what needs to be done to change course.
"Ohio is a state crucial to a Democratic victory in 2008, and I'm honored that one of its Congressmen has decided to endorse my candidacy."
