B’klyn Endorsements: Who has what in mayoral race
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, former Comptroller Bill Thompson, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio and Comptroller John Liu have all built up impressive rosters of endorsements in their campaigns to clinch the Democratic nomination in the city’s mayoral race.
And in many cases, those making the endorsements cited the candidates’ response to Superstorm Sandy as an important factor.
Each seems to have particular areas of strength. For example, de Blasio is strong in the Downtown area and among left-liberal voters, while both Liu and Thompson are strong in more outlying areas of the borough and in the black and Latino communities.
