Councilmembers Carlina Rivera of District 2 and Erik Bottcher of District 3 officially announced their endorsement for Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney for re-election — a promising start to the Democratic candidate’s campaign to retain her seat as a member of the U.S. House, on behalf of New York’s 12th Congressional District.
“Representative Maloney has been New York City’s dedicated advocate in the halls of Congress,” said Rivera. “Whether she’s fighting for federal support for our city hospitals, reaffirming our status as a safe haven for access to reproductive care, or expanding vaccine sites throughout her district, Rep. Maloney is a proven leader who knows how to get things done for NY-12 and we’ll be lucky to have her in Congress another term.”
