In another sign that Anthony's strength in the Bronx is growing, today Congressman Eliot Engel announced his support for Anthony's campaign for mayor.  Anthony has already been endorsed by Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz and the Benjamin Franklin Democratic Reform Club, the largest Democratic club in the Bronx.

In Eliot's words: 

"Anthony Weiner is a fighter for the middle class and for working New Yorkers.  I have known and admired his hard work since he first came to Congress.  He understand the Bronx and its needs, and this means a lot to me and to my constituents."

Anthony is thrilled to have Eliot's support:

"As a nine-term congressman, Eliot Engel commands respect for his hard work and diligence.  He serves on the Energy and Commerce Committee, one of the most important in the House, as well as the International Relations Committee.  He has worked hard for health care for the elderly and to protect Social Security.  And there is no firmer friend of Israel in Congress."
