Endorsements from Texas

General Wesley K. Clark (Ret.), Democratic candidate for President, picked up 19 endorsements from Texas state representatives. Clark was also endorsed by several city council members and other state democratic leaders.

State Rep. Richard Raymond, one of Texas' earliest Clark supporters and Texas Legislative Delegation Coordinator said, "This broad base of support is evidence of General Clark's appeal not just to the party's base, but to a wider spectrum of voters. General Clark is right for Texas, right for the entire country, and will be the next president of the United States."

Lining up congressional endorsements, though frequently dismissed as inside-the-Beltway trivia, is a necessary campaign tactic. Members of Congress are "superdelegates," each having a vote at their party's nominating convention. Significant support also can provide fund-raising traction.
