Democrats bring in Chuck Schumer to help gain control of state Senate
Democrats are bringing in one of their biggest guns - U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer - to campaign in a race that could determine control of the state Senate.
Schumer will be in Queens within the next week to campaign for City Councilman Joseph Addabbo, who is challenging longtime Republican Sen. Serphin Maltese.
"Chuck Schumer is a legend in New York politics with a record of unseating incumbents," said Addabbo spokeswoman Alexis Grenell.
"As the man who unmade the Republican Congress, Sen. Schumer is no stranger to a fight, and the councilman is thrilled to have him in his court."
It's really great to see both of our US Senators engaging in the fight for the State Senate this year, something that doesn't happen often enough. So far, we've seen Hillary Clinton raising money for the Senate Dems and endorsing some of our best challengers and now we see Chuck out stumping with them as well. Sure, they would both like to claim a little credit for the coming defeat of the GOP majority, but they are also putting heir money where their mouths are. And it's not over yet. Other endangered republican incumbents should take notice:
In addition to stumping for Addabbo, Schumer plans to hit the trail over the next few weeks for a number of New York Democrats running for Congress, state Senate, Assembly and some local races, an aide said.
Well done, Senators Schumer and Clinton.
