Hillary Clinton has received another important endorsement. The New York State Immigrant Action Fund of Manhattan endorsed her Wednesday afternoon.
Steven Choi, the executive director of the Action Fund and its sister organization, the New York Immigration Coalition, said the fund endorsed her because of her planned policies, and also because of the longstanding relationship the groups have had with Mrs. Clinton. “She knows New York State’s immigrants,” Mr. Choi said. “We know she has a strong consistent track record, that she has worked for immigrant communities and she has delivered.”
