Philadelphia Sen. Arthur Haywood endorses Bernie Sanders
By Max Marin
March 29, 2016

“Bernie has an ambitious plan for this nation,” Haywood, a senator for the state's 4th district since 2014, said on a press conference call. “Here in Pennsylvania, we suffer from some of the same corporate tax [issues] Bernie has mentioned. Recently, $2.8 billion in corporate tax giveaways occurred here."

Haywood said that corporate tax breaks played a "large part" in Pennsylvania's record-setting budget impasse. "I'm 100 percent with Sen. Sanders in recognizing that this has got to change," he added.

On a more particular point, Haywood applauded the Vermont senator's college accessibility plan. Haywood's district contains parts of Philadelphia and Montgomery counties, where he says young people are deterred from going to college because of rising debt costs. "We need to reinvest in ourselves," he said.

The endorsement also comes at a time when national observers are questioning the "racial math" of Sanders' supporters.

He's #FeelintheBern in the city of brotherly love!
