NYC Mayor's Race: Cuomo lands endorsement of former Gov. Paterson and head of Manhattan Democrats [View all]

Former Gov. David Paterson and chair of the New York County Democratic Party Keith Wright endorsed on Wednesday former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who now holds a tight lead in the Democratic primary race for mayor.

Paterson and Wright, introduced by Harlem Pastor Renee Washington Garner, announced their endorsements and gave remarks at a Wednesday event at Harlem soul food staple Amy Ruth’s.

Wright began by mentioning the death of longtime US Rep. Charles Rangel, who died in May at the age of 94. Wednesday would have been Rangel’s 95th birthday.

“What better way to say, ‘Happy Birthday,’ than to be here for Andrew Cuomo?” Wright said.
