Houston Superdelegate switches to Obama
February 28th, 2008 Posted in NewsThe AP reports that State Representative Senfronia Thompson has switched her support from Senator Clinton to Senator Obama. Rep. Thompson represents parts of Northeast Houston and Humble.
“I’m honored to have earned the support of Representative Thompson and am pleased that she’ll play an important role in advancing our grassroots movement for change in Houston and across Texas,” Obama said in a statement. “Throughout her three decades in the Legislature, she’s been a tireless advocate for working families and when I’m president we’ll work together to put the American dream within reach of every child in Texas and across our country.”
Thompson, one of the longest serving Democrats in the state House, is one of the party insiders who, as a superdelegate, help choose the Democratic nominee at the national convention this summer in Denver.
