Queens Democrats continue to line up behind Cuomo for mayor
More elected officials in Queens have officially endorsed former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in his bid for mayor, joining a growing list of elected Democrats in the borough who have announced their support for the former governor in recent weeks.
State Sen. James Sanders and Assembly Members Clyde Vanel and Alicia Hyndman officially endorsed Cuomo on April 2 after the Democratic Organization of Queens County and its chairman, U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks, announced their support for Cuomo on Sunday in a major win for the former governor.
State Senators Toby Ann Stavisky and Joseph P. Addabbo, Assembly Members David Weprin and Edward Braunstein, and Council Member Lynn Schulman all threw their support behind Cuomo on Tuesday, while Assembly Members Stacey Pheffer Amato, Vivian Cook and Sam Berger have also endorsed the former governor.
The recent slew of endorsements is a significant boost to Cuomo, a self-described “Queens boy,” while also handing a significant blow to his Queens-based opponents, including State Sen. Jessica Ramos, Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani, and Council Speaker Adrienne Adams.
