Congressman Alan B. Mollohan Endorses Barack Obama; Delegate Countdown - 43 To Go

By Sam Graham-Felsen - May 29th, 2008 at 5:59 pm EDT

Chicago, IL – Today, United States Congressman Alan B. Mollohan endorsed Barack Obama.

Mollohan is the 323.5th superdelegate to endorse Obama. Obama is 43 delegates away from securing the Democratic nomination for president.
Congressman Mollohan said, “I believe Senator Obama will bring America a new era of trust, principled leadership and positive results. He has the intelligence, capacity and values that assure me he will confront the real issues that Americans face every day - health care, pension reform, energy prices, the struggling economy, and, of course, the issue of Iraq. “

Congressman Mollohan has represented the First District of West Virginia in the United States House of Representatives since 1983.
