June
8

 


Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand announced this morning that two members of the New York City congressional delegation have endorsed her.


 


Rep. Nydia Velázquez, chairwoman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and Rep. Edolphus Towns, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, join a growing list of members of the New York congressional delegation who endorsed Gillibrand.


 


Gillibrand has been actively seeking endorsements, even though the 2010 election is 17 months away.


 


Rep. Carolyn Maloney of Manhattan has indicated she is close to making a formal announcement that she intends to challenge Gillibrand in a primary.

    Maybe this woman should get to work. These lame politicians who used to govern for years and campaign a few months now govern for months and campaign for years.
