Rep. Frank endorses Clinton
Posted: 11/14/07 09:26 PM [ET]

House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) is endorsing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) for president, Clinton’s campaign announced Tuesday.

Frank, whose sister Ann Lewis is one of Clinton’s senior advisers, will serve as an economic adviser to the campaign.

"I have from the beginning of this campaign believed that Hillary Clinton was the candidate best qualified to serve as president,” Frank said in a statement. “I am convinced that once elected, the qualities she will bring to the job — commitment, intellect and political skills — will make her an extremely effective leader in our effort to reverse the badly flawed course on which George Bush and past Republican Congresses have set this country.”

Frank, one of two openly gay members of Congress, added in the release that he is “convinced that Hillary Clinton is the candidate best equipped to pass laws that will treat all Americans with dignity, fairness and equality no matter who they are or who they love.”

In a statement, Clinton said she is honored to have Frank’s support, calling him “one of the sharpest minds in Congress.”
