Biden cited her past business experience and her time as a Solebury supervisor as reasons for his support.
Former Vice President Joe Biden has endorsed Democratic candidate Helen Tai in the race to represent the 178th state House district.
Tai faces off against Republican Wendi Thomas to serve the remainder of former state Rep. Scott Petri’s term in the May 15 special election.
Petri resigned late last year to oversee the Philadelphia Parking Authority, creating a vacancy through 2018.
Biden endorsed Tai because of her experience as a business owner — she runs a process improvement consulting firm called Enabling Innovation LLC — and her five years as a Solebury supervisor, according to a news release from Tai’s campaign.
