Bloomberg lands Utah's lone Democratic rep as sixth congressional endorsement

[left-of-center2012]

Democratic presidential hopeful Mike Bloomberg on Friday scored his sixth congressional endorsement, this one from Utah's only Democratic Rep. Ben McAdams. It is the latest win for the former New York City mayor's surging campaign.

"He’s our best shot to restore fiscal responsibility in Washington and to address critical issues like access to quality health care," McAdams said in a statement released by Bloomberg's campaign. "As Mayor, he brought people from all corners of the world together to solve big problems and I am confident he will do the same as president.” In 2018, McAdams flipped a district previously won by President Trump in 2016 and he is the only Democrat serving in the state's congressional delegation.

Bloomberg has received a slew of congressional endorsements over the past month from a number of members of Congress and mayors.

Rep. Scott Peters (D-Calif.) threw his support behind Bloomberg on Monday, while Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) announced her support for Bloomberg on Thursday.
