Link to tweet
COLUMBUS, Ohio—Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden picked up endorsements Tuesday from nine more Ohio House members, padding his endorsement lead among Democratic officials in the state.
The nine lawmakers, all women, include three freshmen who unseated Republicans in suburban districts: Columbus-area state Reps. Mary Lightbody and Allison Russo, as well as state Rep. Jessica Miranda from suburban Cincinnati.
The others include Assistant Minority Leader Kristin Boggs of Columbus, Rep. Lisa Sobecki of suburban Toledo, and four Northeast Ohio representatives – Randi Clites of Ravenna, Tavia Galonski of Akron, Michele Lepore-Hagan of Youngstown, and Bride Rose Sweeney of Cleveland, .
Russo, in an interview, said the former vice president not only has the best chance of beating President Donald Trump in November, but would elevate support for other Democratic candidates at a time when Ohio House Democrats are trying to net two more seats to break the GOP’s 60-vote supermajority.
