Clintons, Teamsters Council Latest To Back De Blasio In Mayoral Race
NY1News
Democratic mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio picked up two high profile endorsements Wednesday as his campaign continues to build momentum.
President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced that they are endorsing de Blasio's campaign for mayor.
Earlier this morning, the Teamsters Joint Council 16 also announced its support. The organization has 120,000 members and represents more than 30 local union chapters.
De Blasio says he will work with the Teamsters to end what he calls the "Tale of Two Cities" in New York.
