Democratic
presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton on Wednesday announced
the formation of a 71-member LGBT steering committee in
Pennsylvania, underscoring her work for a solid
win in the state's competitive April 22
primary election. Committee members who will offer her
campaign opinions and advice include elected officials,
teachers, health care professionals, and business owners as
well as Queer Eye for the Straight Guy's
Carson Kressley.
"I am
proud to receive the support of such a dynamic group of
leaders in the Pennsylvania LGBT community,"
Clinton said in a press release. "LGBT
Americans have been a part of this campaign from the
start, and I look forward to continuing to work with the
community in the Keystone State to ensure we end the
divisive politics of the current
administration."
Rasmussen Reports
found that Clinton's lead in Pennsylvania has shrunk
from double digits in March to just five points in their
poll released April 5.
