NY-02: Joe Biden endorses Jackie Gordon in 2nd C.D.
Former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, endorsed Democrat Jackie Gordon on Monday in the race to succeed U.S. Rep. Peter King in New York’s 2nd Congressional District. Gordon is a former Babylon town councilwoman, a retired Army lieutenant colonel and a school guidance counselor.
“I am proud to endorse Lt. Col. (Ret.) Jackie Gordon for Congress to represent New York’s Second Congressional District,” Biden said in a statement released on Monday. “Jackie has served her community as a military police officer and an educator and will continue that service in Washington. I know Jackie will fight hard for Long Island’s working families and make their voices heard in Congress.”
Biden joins his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, former President Barack Obama and Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York in the latest of a series of high-profile political endorsements the Gordon campaign has announced throughout the year.
Gordon is in a tight congressional race against Republican State Assemblyman Andrew Garbarino, who has secured many of his own endorsements, including that of King, a Seaford Republican who has represented the South Shore in the House of Representatives since 1993.
