Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz announced Tuesday he is throwing his support behind Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in the Wisconsin presidential primary.
“I am supporting Sen. Obama in the Wisconsin primary because I believe he can reach out to new voters, to young people and to independents who will decide the next election,” Mayor Cieslewicz said in a statement. “He is a truly transformational national figure who has the chance to inspire and unite Americans like no national leader since John Kennedy.”
Cieslewicz previously endorsed Sen. John Edwards, who dropped out of the race earlier this month.
