Palm Bay Mayor Backs Hillary Clinton for President

Former U.S. Sec. of State Hillary Clinton announced on Tuesday that more than 50 current and former African American mayors are backing her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. 

“I am honored to have earned the endorsement of more than 50 African-American mayors across the country,” Clinton said on Tuesday. “Mayors are on the front lines of many of our country’s toughest battles.  They’re fighting to create jobs, rebuild our infrastructure, stop gun violence, and eliminate the inequities that tear communities apart.  From the biggest cities to the smallest towns, what happens at the local level often leads to national change. Mayors make that happen. As president, I'll always be a friend to America’s mayors.  I’ll solicit their ideas and expertise at every step.  And I'm proud to stand with them today, because mayors are critical to growing our economy and strengthening our country, one community at a time.”

From Florida, Palm Bay Mayor William Capote threw his support to Clinton. Other mayors who endorsed Clinton include Byron Brown of Buffalo, Sly James of Kansas City, Dwight Jones of Richmond, Michael Nutter of Philadelphia and Kasim Reed of Atlanta. Former Mayors David Dinkins of New York, Shirley Franklin and Andrew Young of Atlanta and Wellington Webb of Denver also backed Clinton.
