Hillary Clinton Endorses Joe Addabbo - Praises His Leadership and Energy

Set to Attend Queens County Democratic Party Dinner Dance

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton voiced her avid support for Councilman Joe Addabbo in his bid to unseat Republican Senator Serf Maltese.

"In November, voters in Queens have an important decision to make: Who will fight for us? We need Joe Addabbo in Albany to fight for middle class families. As Chair of the NYC Council's Labor Committee, Joe has stood up for working people - he knows we need to keep and attract jobs to New York that offer good benefits and fair pay. Joe is a tireless advocate for his community - who will work hard on behalf of the families in the 15th Senate District. As a member of the City Council, Joe has helped balance seven city budgets and has the experience and vision to get things working in Albany. On November 4th, I encourage you to vote for Joe Addabbo."

Senator Clinton will be on hand to show her support at the Queens County Democratic Dinner on Thursday, October 23rd.

Senator Clinton has written a new chapter in American history and it is a privilege to have the support of one of the greatest public servants of our time. If elected, I will work tirelessly with her on the issues that matter most to working families: education, healthcare, and job creation. In these tough fiscal times we need courage not complacency, which is exactly the work ethic I will bring with me to Albany,” added Councilman Addabbo
