Members of Congress, PA Speaker of the House, Legislators, Mayors, Commissioners & More All Quickly Back Bizzarro<\/em><\/p>\n

Democrat Ryan Bizzarro isn\u2019t taking on Pennsylvania\u2019s most extremist statewide office holder alone. Only two days after launching his bid to defeat anti-choice, anti-democracy, anti-worker state Treasurer Stacy Garrity, Bizzarro today announced his first round of more than 150 Pennsylvania officials<\/strong><\/em><\/a> at the local, county, state and federal levels who have rallied around him to endorse his candidacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must curb the spread of extremism in both our politics and government, and that\u2019s why, up and down the ballot, I stand with candidates who are pro-democracy and pro-women\u2019s rights. In the race for Pennsylvania Treasurer, that\u2019s Ryan Bizzarro,\u201d said Congresswoman Madeleine Dean (PA-04). \u00a0\u201cStacy Garrity is too extreme for our Commonwealth. Ryan will serve all Pennsylvanians with integrity and decency.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need a state treasurer who understands we need to invest in a future that works for everyone \u2014 and protects the people’s money,\u201d said Pennsylvania Speaker of the House Joanna McClinton. \u00a0\u201cRyan Bizzarro is that leader, and I’ve got his back. Please join me in supporting my friend and Pennsylvania\u2019s next State Treasurer, Ryan Bizzarro.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need a state treasurer who understands we need to invest in a future that works for everyone \u2014 and protects the people’s money,\u201d said Congressman Dwight Evans (D-03). \u201cRyan Bizzarro is that leader, and I\u2019m proud to support him in is his race for treasurer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking families deserve a chance to retire. Ryan Bizzarro has been an effective fighter in Harrisburg to secure retiree pensions,\u201d said Congressman Matt Cartwright (PA-08). \u00a0\u201cAs Treasurer, he\u2019ll keep fighting for retirees. I stand with Ryan Bizzarro.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people need a state treasurer who\u2019s going to stand up for workers and to protect the people\u2019s money, without exploiting the office to promote radical agendas that take away rights and threaten our democracy,\u201d Bizzarro said. \u201cI couldn\u2019t be more proud to earn the trust of these leaders from every corner of the Commonwealth, and I\u2019m ready to earn the trust of every voter in every county.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is just the start of our campaign and only the first wave of announced endorsements. I look forward to rolling out even more as the campaign continues,\u201d said Bizzarro.<\/p>\n

Bizzarro announced his candidacy last Tuesday with a video that can be viewed here.<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n
