Former President Clinton endorses Strickland for US Senate

YOUNGSTOWN — Former President Bill Clinton is the latest — and most prominent — politician to endorse ex-Gov. Ted Strickland’s bid for the 2016 U.S. Senate seat.

“Ted Strickland offers a unique blend of qualities we need more of in Washington today: a proven record of service to hard working Ohioans, energy, determination and idealism,” Clinton said today in a prepared statement about his fellow Democrat. “He knows how to reach across the aisle to find common ground and when Ohioans need him to stand his ground. No one will care more, know more, and work harder for better opportunities for every Ohioan than Ted. I’m proud to support him.”

The endorsement comes as Clinton’s wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, is considered the Democratic Party’s front-runner for president next year.
