Summit, New Jersey – As Senator John Edwards visits New Jersey
today to tour a stem cell research facility with former New Jersey
governor and New Jersey state Senate President Richard Codey, he
received the support of several prominent New Jersey leaders.
"John Edwards is the best chance Democrats have to win the White House
and make a real difference in the lives of America's families," said
Assemblymember John McKeon. "John Edwards has detailed plans to build a
better America -- plans to guarantee universal health care, end poverty
in America, fight global warming and end the war in Iraq. I am proud to
support his candidacy and work with him to improve the lives of all
Americans."
Codey endorsed Edwards in February saying, "John Edwards has the
leadership qualities and the experience to lead this nation. John
Edwards also has the best vision to put a Democrat back in the White
House."
