Mikulski To Lead For Hillary

Maryland Democrat Senator Barbara Mikulski, the first woman elected to serve in the Senate, threw her support behind Senate colleague Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign today, not only endorsing her but becoming a national campaign co-chair.

“Hillary is the leader who will put this nation back on track, whether it's ending the war in Iraq, providing educational opportunities for our children, restoring our standing in the world or addressing our increasing deficit. She works every day to advance women’s rights, by standing up for the women’s basketball team at Rutgers and leading the legislative effort for equal pay to become a reality for women. As the first Democratic woman elected to the Senate in my own right, I am honored to join Senator Clinton in this historic effort to break the last barrier for women in public life," said Mikulski.
