President Obama announced his first wave of mid-term endorsements, including Madeleine Dean for Pennsylvania's 4th Congressional district in Montgomery and Berks County. In response to the news of the President's endorsement Dean said “For eight years, he lifted others up. He reached for a big-hearted, better America that worked for everybody. He knew what too many politicians forgot: That public service is a privilege and a responsibility. I am honored to run for Congress in my hometown, to serve at this important time in our Nation's history, and this afternoon I am humbled to earn the support of President Obama.” In his endorsement announcement, President Obama said “I'm confident that, together, they'll strengthen this country we love by restoring opportunity, repairing our alliances and standing in the world, and upholding our fundamental commitment to justice, fairness, responsibility, and the rule of law.” Madeleine Dean will be on the November 6th general election ballot as the Democratic nominee for the 4th Congressional District.
