Philly’s Liberty City Democrats Back Clinton
Philadelphia’s Liberty City Democratic Club, one of three Pennsylvania chapters of the National Stonewall Democrats, has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. Stonewall’s Steel City Democratic Club in Pittsburgh had previously endorsed Clinton while the Capital Region Club in Harrisburg has not voted on the matter.
One Liberty City cochair, who asked not to be identified for this story, said the club was pleased to make an endorsement based on the wishes of the membership.
In a prepared statement from her campaign, Clinton said, “I am honored to receive the support of the Liberty Democratic Club. LGBT Americans have been a part of this campaign from the start and I look forward to working with members of the Liberty Democratic Club to ensure that their voices are heard in this important Pennsylvania primary.”
