Kentucky Lieutenant Governor Dan Mongiardo endorsed Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama on Sunday, less than two weeks before Obama faces rival Hillary Clinton in the state Democratic presidential primary on May 20th.

 

Mongiardo said Obama can unite the Democratic Party and build a coalition with independents and Republicans before the general election in November. Mongiardo, a surgeon, also praised Obama's health care plan, which would cut the medical cost for all families.

 

Governor Steve Beshear, a super delegate, has yet to announce which candidate he will back at the Democratic National Convention his summer.
