Mo Denis, one of three Latino state legislators in Nevada, endorsed Obama this morning after meeting with and questioning the Illinois senator. Denis had formerly supported Gov. Bill Richardson.
The Statesman Journal reports two important endorsements from Oregon, Randall Edwards and Susan Castillo:
Barack Obama is the right person to heal this country and restore America’s standing in the world,” said Edwards, who is completing a second four-year term as treasurer this year. He is barred from running for a third term.Castillo, the first Hispanic woman in statewide office, said she is endorsing Obama for his commitment to education. She has been a state schools chief, a nonpartisan office, for five years; she was a Democratic state senator for six years before that.
Of Oregon’s top Democrats, Gov. Ted Kulongoski and U.S. Rep. Darlene Hooley have endorsed New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, and Oregon House Speaker Jeff Merkley and Oregon Senate President pro tem Margaret Carter have endorsed former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards. Others have made no public endorsements.
In Ohio, Mayor Jay Williams of Youngstown endorsed Obama saying "I admire his ability to inspire; he’s seen as an agent of change."
