In an effort to ward off primary challenges, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has been rolling out early endorsements. Her most recent endorsements include two prominent Central New York Democrats: Syracuse Mayor Matt Driscoll and Congressman Mike Arcuri (NY-24). Notably absent was Congressman Dan Maffei (NY-25), who may be waiting to see how the field shapes up before he makes up his mind.
“It is already clear that Senator Gillibrand understands the needs of families across Central New York. I am proud to endorse her campaign for U.S. Senate. As an Upstater, Kirsten knows that high speed rail and our green economy are key components of Syracuse’s economic recovery. That’s why she’s working with President Obama to create jobs in Upstate New York and secure the federal dollars we need to promote economic growth.”
-Syracuse Mayor Matt Driscoll
“As a fellow Upstater, Kirsten understands the struggles of our communities and families during these tough economic times. Together, we will continue fighting to create jobs and jumpstart the Upstate economy.”
-Congressman Mike Arcuri (NY-24)
