Happy Obama Day! #

1. Good enough for me!

Engel is a good Democrat. We need to focus on defeating Republicans.

[Cha]

2. Mahalo, mcar!! These brilliant leaders aren't playing.. they

know from experience that Eliot Engel has been there for them.. Nancy Pelosi endorses Rep Eliot Engel, too!

[Squinch]

4. Great names to see getting behind Engel! I don't understand the appeal of the

middle school principal running against him at all.

[Cha]

7. Yeah, I'll take Hakeem Jeffries & the Bronx Women Leaders' endorsement

of Eliot Engel over the NYT's endorsement of his primary opponent Any Day!

Mahalo, Squinch

[brush]

13. And let's get to the heart of the matter. AOC is again trying to...

unseat an incumbent Democrat. I think she loses this one too.

[mcar]

16. I wish she'd expend more of her political capital on fighting

Republicans.

[Squinch]

3. Kicking, Cha! Thank you for posting!

[Cha]

6. Mahalo for your K&R, Squinch!

5. I'm not totally sure what progressive's issue is

with Engel. It looks like he is pretty liberal. The “he never visits his district” stuff is kind of a hack criticism. But I have to say anything or anyone Tom Watson is advocating, I have to view with the utmost suspicion.

9. They are desperate to get someone elected.

[Cha]

20. Here's to Eliot Engel Winning, Dems!

[Cha]

10. Tom Watson is saying how important it is that the Mayor

of Mount Vernon, New York, Shawyn Patterson-Howard, is endorsing Eliot Engel.

Mount Vernon Mayor Shawyn Patterson-Howard Endorses Congressman Eliot Engel for Reelection

“Eliot puts people first, fighting for equity and women’s rights in the era of Trump,” said Mayor Patterson-Howard. “Eliot has scored $2.8 million in federal funds in the last two months to help with rent eviction, COVID-19, and health services in Mount Vernon. Eliot continues to secure funds for Mount Vernon Healthcare Center and is fighting to keep Mount Vernon hospital open.”

“It’s truly an honor to be endorsed by Mayor Patterson-Howard, who is doing so much to change Mount Vernon and stands as a real voice of conscience in our community,” said Congressman Engel. “Shawyn is a true progressive partner in government, a real fighting Democrat, and her leadership has rightly received widespread recognition during the pandemic and the fight for justice reform.”

11. Mahalo, she! Eliot Engel has been endorsed

by Leaders I've grown to respect and trust.. and their strong endorsements tell his history of how he's been there for them.

14. Thank You!

Too much else going on right now for much interest.. but there will be closer to the New York, June 23rd Primary.. & ('ll just repost!

15. Thanks, Cha!

Have to say there's been a bit of tension in my area about Engel's opponent, but finding out how Bowman didn't even bother to show up to vote numerous times in numerous election cycles is a big-ass strike against him AFAIC. One of many strikes against him.

Honestly, AOC still has a lot to learn about who shows up to vote in these districts. CD-16 is not a cookie-cutter version of CD-14 or CD-15 by a long shot; and the "Justice Democrats" keep forgetting that moderate and conservative Democrats also vote, and more importantly, they show up to vote each and every time.

[Cha]

17. Aloha, Dinah.. More Endorsements for Eliot Engel!

23. Desperation endorsements.../

Not going to have any impact on an absentee-ballot driven election that closes on Tuesday.

[Cha]

24. "Desperation"? What are you talking about?

These Democratic Leaders are endorsing Eliot Engel because they want him back in the House.

I see no reason to insult with labeling" them "desperation".

[brooklynite]

25. Endorsements made six days before the Primary and AFTER polling shows Engel at risk...

...are desperate in my book.

[Cha]

26. I do Not think they are "desperate" endorsements.. tell that

to Rep Adam Schiff and all the Dem Leaders.
