Chicago, IL – Today, United States Congressman John Barrow (GA-12) endorsed Barack Obama, citing his success in the Georgia primary and his proven track record of bringing change that matters to working families.Congressman Barrow said, “The voters in the 12th District of Georgia spoke on February 5, and the message came in loud and clear: They want Senator Barack Obama to be the next President of the United States, and I agree with them. Senator Obama has demonstrated that he can work with folks on all sides of an issue to find solutions that make sense for working families. That's what I've tried to do since I took office in 2005, and that's why I'm supporting him."
Senator Obama said, “I am grateful for Congressman Barrow’s support. Congressman Barrow knows through his years in local government and now representing the people of the 12th District what it takes to bring about real change in the lives of ordinary Americans. He has fought to make college more affordable and bring tax relief to working families. And I’m proud to stand with Congressman Barrow as we fight to bring about change all across our country."
