Hillary Clinton Is Endorsed for President by New York City Council Speaker
Melissa Mark-Viverito, the New York City Council speaker, endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton for president on Wednesday, a move that consolidates Democratic support in Mrs. Clinton’s home state and may offer a boost in Ms. Mark-Viverito’s native Puerto Rico.
Ms. Mark-Viverito announced her support for Mrs. Clinton in the Puerto Rican newspaper El Nuevo Dia, ahead of Mrs. Clinton’s planned visit to the island this week.
The speaker, a staunchly liberal Democrat who maintains an active presence in Puerto Rican politics, said in a column that it was time to “send a woman to the White House.” Ms. Mark-Viverito cited Mrs. Clinton’s support for allowing Puerto Rico to address its debt crisis by declaring bankruptcy, as well as her views on immigration and criminal justice reform.
I know there is a reason to not just dump all her endorsements out at one time but it makes me feel like a kid opening one Christmas gift at a time after waiting months to see what Santa brought you from the list you gave him.
