Martin O'Malley campaign touts endorsement of 65 DNC members in chair race

The campaign of former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, one of the candidates running for the Democratic National Committee chairmanship, announced Monday it had the backing of 65 DNC members.

“The governor jumped in this race a bit over a month and a half ago now, and since then, I think the most important thing to note is that he’s had the ability to earn the support of over 65 members of the DNC, voting members of the DNC that comes from the work that he’s been putting in,” an O’Malley aide told reporters Monday. “He’s working the phones every single day, has been for over a month and a half now.”
