Stevens Point, WI -- Former 71st District Assembly Representative and “superdelegate” Stan Gruszynski today announced his endorsement for Senator Barack Obama. In the battle for the democratic nomination, Gruszynski’s endorsement as one of Wisconsin’s 18 “superdelegates” brings the Democratic nomination even closer within reach for Senator Obama.

“Senator Obama will bring the change we need here in Wisconsin and across America to strengthen the middle class and standing for regular Americans,” Gruszynski said. “From saving jobs from being sent overseas and creating new ones for our hardworking families, to creating universal health care and making college affordable to all, Senator Obama is a leader who will change America.”

Gruszynski joins Governor Jim Doyle, Congresswoman Gwen Moore and Congressman Dave Obey in the list of Wisconsin “superdelegates” standing with Senator Obama.

Senator Obama has tremendous grassroots support in Wisconsin. Here, and across America, Senator Obama is uniting Americans. People of all backgrounds and all generations are coming together to stand up for change we can all believe in.
