Iowa Rep. Wayne Ford Endorses Barack

Iowa state Rep. Wayne Ford has announced his support of Senator Obama. Rep. Ford’s endorsement is Senator Obama’s 20th from Iowa legislators. According to the Obama Campaign Headquarters this also means that every member of Iowa’s Legislative Black Caucus supports Senator Obama.

Wayne Ford said “Barack’s ability to win the support of independents and Republicans means he’ll both be our party’s strongest general election candidate and a President who can successfully expand economic opportunity and access to affordable housing for every American - including those who live in urban communities. I am glad that Sen. Obama has invited me to be a part of his team as he looks at implementing his national urban agenda. This endorsement isn’t just about my name. I intend to spend the next 11 days working to ensure that Barack Obama makes a strong showing on caucus night in Iowa and in the primaries that follow across the country.”

Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, State Treasurer Mike Fitzgerald and former Iowa Democratic Party Chair Gordon Fischer have also endorsed Senator Obama.
