WASHINGTON, DC – Elect Democratic Women (EDW), the Congressional Member-led committee dedicated to electing Democratic women to Congress, announced its endorsement of Carol Obando-Derstine for Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District.
“Carol Obando-Derstine knows what it means to fight alongside families who refuse to accept rising costs and shrinking opportunities,” said Congresswoman Lois Frankel, Chair of Elect Democratic Women. “Throughout her career, Carol has delivered real results—expanding access to quality education through her work in Head Start and as Executive Director of the SkillsUSA Council, and helping families lower their utility bills and reduce costs during her time with PPL Electric Utilities. Carol has consistently led with integrity and purpose, and Elect Democratic Women is proud to support her campaign for Pennsylvania’s 7th District.”
“I am honored to receive the endorsement of Elect Democratic Women,” said Carol Obando-Derstine. “Our campaign is about delivering real solutions for families who feel squeezed from every direction and want leaders who will listen, work hard, and put people first. I’ve spent my life opening doors for others and building partnerships that make a difference for our schools, our economy, and our neighborhoods. In Congress, I’ll bring that same determination to fight for a fairer economy, protect our freedoms, and ensure every family in the Lehigh Valley has the opportunity to thrive.”
