Hillary Clinton Campaign Press Release - Clinton Momentum Continues, Receives Prominent Montana Endorsements Today

Helena, MT - Montana for Hillary today announced the endorsements of more Montana legislators, leaders and Democratic activists, demonstrating Clinton's growing support throughout Montana.

Last night Sen. Clinton decisively won the Pennsylvania primary, an important turning point in the Democratic primary against Barack Obama.

"I am grateful for the overwhelming support I've received from distinguished leaders under the Big Sky," Hillary said. "These local leaders see that a poor economy and failing health care system is taking a toll on their communities. They know I'm the candidate who will deliver real solutions to the problems facing Montanans."
