Lentz rolls out Democratic leader endorsements in 7th CD

Democratic state Rep. Bryan Lentz today welcomed the endorsement of 71 elected officials and party leaders from around Delaware County today in his effort to win the nomination for the 7th Congressional District seat.

Included on the list are officials from the large Democratic municipalities of Marple, Radnor and Nether Providence townships, as well as prominent leaders like Media Mayor Bob McMahon, Media Council President Frank Daly, and Landsdowne Mayor Jayne Young.

The show of force, ahead of Lentz's anticipated formal announcement of candidacy, is aimed at state Rep. Greg Vitali, said to be considering a race. Political consultant E. Teresa Touey also has announced she is running.
