Providence Mayor Angel Taveras (D. RI) scored a big endorsement in his bid for Governor today:
When I ran for the Democratic nomination for president in 1992, a young college student heard my message of opportunity for all - no matter their race, class or geography - and took to the streets of New Hampshire to help our campaign. Angel Taveras had risen from Head Start to Harvard and he knew that millions more children needed the same opportunities as him.
Angel is now Mayor of Providence, Rhode Island's capital city, and has achieved success creating the kind of opportunity we talked about back in 1992 for the citizens he serves. Now he's looking to bring renewed prosperity to his entire state, as governor, but he needs (and deserves) our help.
Will you join me today in supporting Angel and contributing to help him build the strong campaign he needs? Angel is exactly the kind of leader our country needs to lead us well into the 21st century.

Angel's success has not been easy - both growing up the son of single mother who worked 2nd shift in factories to support her family and, upon taking office, being confronted with a $110 million deficit that appeared certain to send the city into bankruptcy. But, he has consistently found a way to persevere and to succeed.
The Wall Street Journal called Angel's approach "a better model" for other "insolvent cities." And with the challenges our country is facing, Angel's brand of leadership is exactly what we need more of.
This once-in-a-generation leadership needs our support. Please consider joining me in supporting Mayor Taveras with a donation of $25, $50 or $100.
