WASHINGTON, DC – United States Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND) endorsed Barack Obama for President today, citing his ability to unite the nation to get things done.
“I believe that Barack Obama’s ability to end our partisan divisions will unite Democrats, Independents, and Republicans in a coalition for change that can win in November,” said Conrad. “Barack Obama is our best hope to break the partisan logjam in Washington, and make real progress on issues like health care, energy, and ending this war in Iraq.”
Added Conrad: “I saw Barack Obama bring Democrats and Republicans together to pass the furthest-reaching ethics reform since Watergate so that the voices of working Americans could be heard in Washington. He’s also reached across the aisle to pass a law that would increase government accountability by creating a database that allows taxpayers to see how we’re spending their money. And we have worked together on bipartisan legislation to invest in putting America on the path to energy independence, so we can turn away from the Mid East and turn instead to the Mid West for our energy needs.”
“We know Barack Obama is the candidate who will bring change we can believe in because he has done it throughout his two decades in public service,” concluded Conrad.
