On Tuesday, Michael Bloomberg endorsed state Senate candidate Dan Squadron, and this morning, several City Council members came out with their endorsement of Squadron’s opponent, incumbent Marty Connor. Among them was City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who has an extremely close working relationship with the mayor.
It’ll be interesting to see how they (and Quinn in particular) react to the mayor’s involvement in the race. Remember, Bloomberg did give money to the Republicans in Albany and, as Connor reminded me earlier, the mayor isn’t exactly a Democrat any more and this is their primary.
Earlier, Connor supporters had some unfriendly words for another Squadron supporter, Chuck Schumer, who was getting involved in the race.
UPDATE: A Connor spokesman emailed me after today’s press conference: "No one asked about the Bloomberg endorsement."
