Gold Star Father Khizr Khan supports Rose
Gold Star dad Khizr Khan, who delivered a memorable rebuke to then-candidate Donald Trump at the Democratic National Convention in 2016, has endorsed Democrat Max Rose in the race for the 11th Congressional District (Bay Ridge-Southwest Brooklyn-Staten Island).
Rose’s campaign released a fundraising letter from Khan. Rose is a U.S. Army veteran running in a crowded field of candidates hoping to win the Democratic Party’s nomination in the congressional race. Incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Dan Donovan is running for re-election. He is facing a challenge from former congressman Michael Grimm in a GOP primary.
