By Chuck Lindell | Friday, February 15, 2008, 09:34 AM Austin Mayor Will Wynn endorsed Sen. Barack Obama this morning,
saying the Democratic presidential candidate “gets it” when it comes to the environment.
“Recently I’ve had conversations about energy policy with presidential candidates from both parties, and I believe Senator Obama is the only person who can move us forward on this critical issue,” Wynn said in a statement released by the Obama campaign.
Wynn has spearheaded clean-energy initiatives in Austin and spurred the U.S. Conference of Mayors to address policies aimed at reducing global climate change.
“(Obama) offers a commitment to confront our energy challenges in ways that will unite our country, help our economy flourish and protect our planet and national security for the next generation and beyond,” Wynn said in the statement.
Wynn’s predecessor, state Sen. Kirk Watson, has also endorsed Obama.
