New news in the race to replace Bill de Blasio as City Councilman for the 39th District: Brad Lander has been endorsed by Nydia Velázquez!
Nydia Velázquez is the second person in Congress to endorse Brad, the first was Jerry Nadler. Congresswoman Velázquez represents New York's 12th Congressional district which is mostly in Brooklyn but partially in Lower-Manhattan. She was the first Puerto Rican woman to serve in Congress.
Out of Brooklyn's Congressional representatives, 3 have endorsed. Weiner endorsed Zuckerman. That leaves Yvette Clarke, and Ed Towns (although I doubt any of the candidates are working for his endorsment.
The biggest endorsement yet to come is that of the New York Times. Typically considered the single most powerful endorsement, the paper doesn't issue it until very late in the game.
Well, thank you Congresswoman Velázquez for endorsing Mr. Lander for City Council!
