Schumer endorses Engel in tough primary battle

“I know from being by his side, when it comes to working for the people of his district in the Bronx and Westchester, Eliot Engel gets the job done"

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced his endorsement of Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY), who is facing a formidable challenge in his re-election bid next week.

“I have a longtime, close friendship with Eliot Engel and have worked with him on many issues. From taking on Donald Trump, to standing up for women’s right to choose to expanding affordable health care, to fighting for civil and human rights, Eliot Engel has been a strong and effective fighter for the people of his district and all Americans — and I am proud to endorse him,” Schumer said in a statement to Jewish Insider.

Earlier Wednesday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo threw his support behind Engel. “We need proven, senior leadership now more than ever — people who are New York tough — and Eliot Engel embodies that, delivering for this state and his constituents time and time again,” Cuomo said in a statement. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton are also backing Engel.
