Former Congressman Gary Ackerman, who represented a chunk of eastern Queens until 2013, has endorsed John Liu’s bid against State Senator Tony Avella.
Mr. Liu’s campaign announced the endorsement today, less than a week after a powerful congressional Democrat threw his weight behind Mr. Avella.
“John Liu has dedicated himself to serving the people of our community,” Mr. Ackerman, a Democrat, said in a statement. “His unwavering commitment to the people of New York and his relentless work ethic make him the ideal person to bring real Democratic leadership back to District 11 and Albany. And his experience and track record as Councilmember and Comptroller means the people of District 11 will finally get the real results that they deserve from their Senator.”
