U.S. Rep. Zack Space
Space endorses Obama
Staff Reports • June 5, 2008
U.S. Rep. Zack Space joined a number of high-ranking Democrats today in endorsing Sen. Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination.
The first-term congressman from Dover is also a superdelegate to the Democratic National Convention in August. He has been silent for months on his preference between Obama and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
"This has been an extraordinary campaign between two very extraordinary candidates, and I congratulate Senator Clinton on her hard-fought campaign," Space said in a prepared statement. "There have been small differences of opinion between Senator Clinton and Senator Obama, but at every turn, their ongoing debates have only made it abundantly clear how the Democratic Party's priorities and values make us much better equipped to address the problems that are plaguing Ohio's working families."
Space joined Gov. Ted Strickland -- one of Clinton's biggest backers -- U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown and Ohio Democratic Party chairman Chris Redfern in endorsing Obama today.
In the March primary, Clinton handily won the 18th Congressional District that Space represents.
