FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BARRY LOCKS IN “BIG THREE” CITY WARD ENDORSEMENTS
St. Louis, Mo. - St. Louis’ largest-voting ward is endorsing Joan Barry
for Congress. The 16th Ward, located in the southwest part of the city,
cites Barry’s experience in the State Legislature and calls Barry the
best candidate to represent the Third Congressional District.

Today’s announcement follows endorsements from St. Louis’ 12th and 23rd
wards. Along with the 16th, they comprise the three heaviest-voting wards
in the district and are well-known as politically influential wards in St.
Louis.

“I think each of these ward organizations has made the right choice in
supporting Joan Barry for Congress,” said Aldermanic President Jim
Shrewsbury. “Joan’s views on the issues and her voting history in the
State Legislature prove that she has the common sense and experience to
represent St. Louis’ diverse population in Washington.”

“I am honored to receive the endorsement from the 16th Ward. This gives
my campaign has more momentum as we head into these last three critical
weeks before the Primary,” says Barry. “Their support shows that all
across the district, people want a Representative that experience and
shares their values. My message of providing quality affordable health
care and fighting for working families resonates with voters
district-wide.”
