Shaughnessy Naughton picked up local endorsements at the wholesale level in her bid for the Democratic nomination in PA-8.

The chemist and businesswoman announced endorsements from 40 local officials in the district today, ranging from township supervisors to school board officials to Democratic committee people.

“I feel incredibly fortunate to have earned the trust of these local leaders,” Naughton said. “These endorsements stand as a testament to the need for new leadership in Bucks and Montgomery Counties. When I get to Washington I’ll work hard for the issues that mean the most to my neighbors. I promise to push for further investment in education, infrastructure and technology following the belief that we cannot cut our way to prosperity. Today’s endorsements represent an expanding coalition of local leaders who are tired of our gridlocked Congress and who want results—not excuses and empty promises.”

Naughton faces veteran and DCCC candidate Kevin Strouse in the Democratic primary, but today’s announcement shows that she’s been some serious local work to win the race.

“Naughton has shown through her ability to run her family’s small business that she knows how to navigate a tough economic climate,” Joyce Hadley, Vice Chair of Bensalem Democratic Organization, said. “She’s a proven job creator who is in touch with the problems that the Eighth District’s middle class are facing, and if elected she’ll take her business acumen to the Capitol. Her plan for economic growth is both progressive but pragmatic, and I’m proud to say I back her for the Eighth District.”
