| The 21st Century Democrats announced their fourth round of endorsements today which included three candidates - one incumbent and two challengers - from New York.
In NY-20, the group endorsed Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand in her reelection bid. The 21st Century Democrats included a profile of Gillibrand on their website, providing readers with some information on Gillibrand.
Kirsten's campaign for New York's 20th District is based on returning trust and accountability to government and reclaiming the days when government worked hardest for those who need it most. Kirsten is an accomplished civic leader, attorney, wife, and mother who understands that politicians are supposed to be looking out for you and are supposed to represent all citizens - not just those who can afford the most access.
The 21st Century Democrats also backed two candidates: Dan Maffei and Jon Powers in NY-25 and NY-26, respectively. The group also has profiles for Maffei and Powers.
The group had this to say about backing Maffei:
21st Century Democrats is excited to support Dan Maffei as he runs to represent New York's 25th district and convinced that he will continue to continue to fight for communities in New York and throughout America.
They had this to say about Powers:
Once elected to Congress, Jon Powers will demonstrate the positive and principled leadership our country needs. 21st Century Democrats is confident that Captain Powers' ability to lead by example will inspire other America to do the same and move our country forward.
Based on what I see, these are the only endorsements for candidates/elected officials from New York. Hopefully there are more to come (Eric Massa anyone?).
