I'm enthusiastically endorsing @HillaryClinton for POTUS. She's the leader we need for today's challenges. RT if you're @ReadyForHillary
Ready for Hillary, the pro-Clinton super PAC that has urged Clinton to run since 2013, has been the force behind seventeen of these endorsements. Senators like Tim Kaine and Mark Warner of Virginia and Dick Durbin of Illinois and have all endorsed the former secretary of state through the super PAC. The group is also currently working to line up more endorsements.
“We’ve been fortunate to have prominent Democrats lend their credibility, their star power and their grassroots networks to help build a list of millions of Hillary supporters,” group spokesman Seth Brignman said about the list of high-profile endorsements they have wrangled for Clinton.
What’s more, every female Democratic senator in the last Congress backed Clinton in a secret letter. “All of the Senate Democratic women have written her a letter encouraging her to run,” Sen. Kay Hagan, who lost reelection in 2014, told an audience in 2013.
In fact, before Clinton has even declared her candidacy, nearly 60% of Democratic senators have endorsed her run.
Here is the list:
Sen. Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin – Signed a letter with all other female senators backing a Clinton run
Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut- Told CNN at a 2014 University of Connecticut event that he “would support her when and if she” runs.
Sen. Barbara Boxer of California – Signed a letter with all other female senators backing a Clinton run
–
Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut
Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida
Sen. Gary Peters of Michigan – Clinton endorsed Peter’s in 2014 and although Peters hinted at Clinton’s future, he didn’t outright endorse her. “Whatever she does, she is going to be really great at it in the future,” he said at the event with Clinton.
Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island
Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada
Sen. Jon Tester of Montana – After losing the chamber in 2014, the Montana Democrat was named chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee through 2016.
Sen. Tom Udall of New Mexico
Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon
