“Access to quality and affordable health care has always been a priority for me, my family, and my constituents. Our current president has done everything within his power to sabotage our current health care system in order to score cheap political points,” said state Rep. Allison Russo.

“Vice President Biden was instrumental in passing the Affordable Care Act, and has always championed for working families. His commitment to improving the health care, education, and economy for every community in Ohio and the country will pave the way for my children, and other people’s children. That’s why I’m proud to endorse Joe Biden for President.”

“We need a President who will be a committed ally in the White House, and that will share our fight for a strong working class and fair wages,” added state Rep. Kristin Boggs. “Vice President Biden is the only candidate that has the heart, experience, and record to restore America’s promise of prosperity for all people and move this nation forward.”

The Biden campaign said the new backers will play “key roles” in its "Women for Biden" movement, which works to connect and organize other women in support of the former vice president.
