Manan Trivedi Continues to Receive More Endorsements

READING, Pa - Influential community organizations to individual community leaders alike, Democrat Manan Trivedi continues to receive key endorsements that will prove to be a valuable asset to the campaign's ground game with just a little more than one month before the May 18 primary. From the Liberty City Democrats to the Greater Reading PAC (GRPAC) to a Democratic party chairperson, a state Representative and twenty-four more committee people, Trivedi is picking up momentum at a critical time in the election season.

Coming from the Liberty City Democrats, the organization released the following statement on their web site following their endorsement meeting. "Manan Trivedi submitted an excellent questionnaire showing a real understanding of and passion for LGBT issues. His record of military service in Iraq and background as a medical doctor would give him a valuable perspective as a Congressman. From repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell to understanding the unique healthcare needs of LGBT community members, Manan will be an advocate. If elected, he will also be the only Indian-American serving in Congress."

Both GRPAC president Jen Schlegel and their treasurer, Bob Millar stated that "Manan is an outstanding candidate and we found his background and progressive positions on the issues important to us to be compelling reasons to endorse him."

The addition of the individual community and political leaders now brings Trivedi's total to 137, which triples the amount of his Democratic primary opponent.
