Wynn for Obama


By Pamela Gentry, Senior Political Producer

Posted Jan. 14, 2008 - Another endorsement from a fellow Black lawmaker today for Sen. Barack Obama, Maryland Congressman Al Wynn (D) has joined the list of members of the House supporting the first term senator.

“Barack Obama brings a positive energy, a new vision and has the political courage to bring about the change this country so desperately needs,” Wynn said.

Wynn’s district is home to one of the largest Black populations in the state and some of the wealthiest. Prince George County’s, a suburb southeast of the District of Columbia, is a political hot spot for folks running for statewide office in Maryland.

It’s not clear how valuable Wynn’s endorsement will be with his constituents. He narrowly won re-election in 2006, just edging out challenger Donna Edwards, an attorney and community activist who ran against him.

Wynn joins fellow Congressional Black Caucus colleague and Maryland lawmaker Rep. Elijah Cummings.
