Espaillat Receives Working Families Party Endorsement-Rangel/Espaillat primary

NICK POWELL

Andrew Cuomo wasn't the only politician to win the support of the Working Families Party this past weekend. The union-backed party also endorsed state Sen. Adriano Espaillat in his primary challenge against Harlem Rep. Charles Rangel.

“I am humbled to have the support of the Working Families Party,” Espaillat said in a statement. “Working families are the backbone of our City. In Congress, I will fight for affordable housing, smart economic development and immigration reform to ensure our residents really can live, work and raise a family here. I am thrilled to have their support and together I know we can bring change and Opportunity for All to the District.”
