    I'm standing with because he stands w/ working families & always has. Bernie is the candidate to take Trump on & take him down. I'm proud to endorse a true progressive leader who will fight for working New Yorkers & families across the country.
    Mayor knows that the only way we can defeat Trump is by uniting people from all backgrounds around an agenda that speaks to working families. I’m proud to have the support of a mayor fighting every day to improve the lives of New Yorkers.

    I worked for House Dems, helped elect a Dem state legislator, congressman & governor. The reason Beltway Dems hate me is not because I have been insufficiently loyal to the Dem Party — it is because they think I have been insufficicently loyal to billionaires & corporate elites.
