Via Iowa Starting Line:

Today September 8th 2015, Labor Day, Iowa State Senator Rich Taylor announced his endorsement of Democratic Presidential candidate Governor Martin O’ Malley.

Senator Taylor stated; “ After countless hours of deliberation and researching all the candidates I feel that Governor O’Malley’s proven leadership qualities will move America into a bright new future and are far and away above all other candidates.”

Martin, after taking control of Baltimore as Mayor while the city was in dire peril and then moving forward to become Governor of the State of Maryland, turning around the downward spiral there as well, has the proven leadership America seeks for a new tomorrow.

Taylor acknowledged, “We are blessed to have so many fine Presidential candidates. I believe Governor O’Malley sets himself apart from the others with his well thought-out vision of a bright new future for America. A future where all people living in this great land of ours are important and all are part of the solution not part of the problem.”

“I believe Martin has the youth to appeal to younger Americans, our future, as well as the respect and trust of those of us in the older generation and in all ethnic groups. He is the Democratic candidate I believe we must move forward to November 2016 and elect as our next President of the United States of America,” Senator Taylor said.

This is after O'Malley's successful weekend in Iowa where he spoke to a crowd of more than 200 in Des Moines and attended house parties and Labor picnics as well.

2. I thought that was a great line in a great endorsement.

I feel like the tides are turning for O'Malley in Iowa after reading the coverage from this weekend. Starting to feel pretty confident that we should see a surge for him soon.
