OH-16: Sen. Boccieri Praises America's Next Vice President

Canton, OH - John Boccieri released the following statement today in response to Barack Obama's selection of Senator Joe Biden as his running mate:

"Like Barack Obama, Joe Biden understands that patriotism isn't about what political party you belong to but whether you'll stand up and fight for America's best interests in the global arena and right here at home - and Senator Biden has done so again and again.

After his incredible efforts to protect women from domestic violence, resolve conflicts around the world, and support the success of America's middle class, I look forward to working with Vice President Biden to turn around Ohio's economy and help working families get ahead."
