Queens Dems To Back Quinn For Mayor

City Council Speaker Christine Quinn picked up a key endorsement in her run for mayor today.

The Queens Democratic Party announced its support for Quinn after party officials met this morning in Forest Hills.

The endorsement is a bit of a surprise because one of Quinn's rivals in the mayor's race, John Liu, is from Queens.

The party is also endorsing former City Councilwoman Melinda Katz for Queens Borough President.

Katz is facing a crowded field of Democrats in the September primary.
