In reply to the discussion: Endorsements and Pro-Hillary editorials [View all]Her Sister
(6,444 posts)62. U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham is supporting Hillary Clinton for president,
http://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/2016/03/07/graham-votes-endorses-clinton/81442342/
Graham, one of 32 Democratic superdelegates in Florida, announced her endorsement after casting her ballot for Clinton during early voting at the Leon County Courthouse.
Weve got to want to work together to make sure that we deal with the issues that our country is facing, and I know that Secretary Clinton is the one to be able to do that.
Graham, asked about the GOP primary, called it a circus.
I find it to be appalling and an embarrassment, she said. Youre campaigning to be the leader of the greatest country in the world. And weve turned this into a juvenile mudslinging. And Im using that word mudslinging as a nicer term for some of the other things that have gone on.
Graham said she bumped into Clintons challenger, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, recently at Reagan National Airport.
Hes very sweet, she said. I like Sen. Sanders very much. I believe from my very core that Secretary Clinton has the combination of qualities we need at this moment in our countrys history more than ever.
Early voting began Saturday in Leon County and runs through Saturday, ahead of Floridas March 15 presidential primary. Graham urged people to get out and vote.
Every election is important, she said. But I think we can all recognize this one has become critical to our nations future. So get out, come vote, support who you believe can best lead our country forward.
