Washington, D.C. – Eric H. Holder, Jr., the 82nd Attorney General of the United States and Chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), today endorsed Ana Tiburcio and Jen Mazzocco for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.
Endorsement Details
The endorsement is part of the NDRC’s Democracy Defenders program, which supports candidates for state-level offices considered critical to safeguarding and strengthening democracy. According to a statement released by Eric H. Holder, Jr., the outcome of next week’s special election will determine whether Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives maintains a pro-democracy majority or “slides back toward MAGA extremism.”
Holder contrasted Tiburcio and Mazzocco with Pennsylvania Republicans, alleging the latter are “beholden to powerful special interests at the expense of working people.” He stated that Tiburcio and Mazzocco will prioritize Pennsylvania’s working families. The election is scheduled for February 24.
A possible next step is increased campaigning by Tiburcio and Mazzocco, leveraging the endorsement to reach voters. Analysts expect increased attention on the race as the February 24 election approaches. This proves likely that opposing candidates will respond to the endorsement.
