One week after Noam Bramson’s landslide primary victory over Assemblyman Ron Tocci, prominent Democrats are rallying strongly to Bramson’s candidacy.

Bramson announced that Congresswoman Nita Lowey and County Executive Andrew Spano had agreed to Co-Chair his campaign. Bramson also secured a slew of endorsements from Democratic elected officials and leaders, suggesting that he will have a united and enthusiastic party behind him in the general election.

“I have had the great pleasure of working closely with Noam Bramson for ten years,” said Lowey. “He is a wonderful person and a truly outstanding public servant. Noam has always been a genuine partner in my efforts to improve education, provide quality health care, and protect our environment. He knows the issues thoroughly and is deeply committed to our community and state. We need elected officials of Noam’s caliber working for us in Albany. That is why I am very proud to support Noam and to serve as the co-chair of his campaign.”

Spano added that “residents of the Sound Shore should be excited about Noam Bramson. Those of us who have already worked with Noam know first-hand his energy, intelligence, and passion for public service. He will be a tireless advocate for our communities and an eloquent voice for the mainstream values of Westchester. Noam has my full support, and I look forward to working with him when he takes his seat in the Assembly.”

Other leaders announcing endorsements for Bramson include: U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, County Legislator Martin Rogowsky, Mamaroneck Village Trustee Kathy Savolt, Mamaroneck Village Democratic Chair Len Aubrey, Rye Democratic Chair Ann Barringer Spaeth, Mount Vernon City Clerk and former candidate for County Clerk Lisa Copeland, and Rye City Democratic Vice Chair and former candidate for District Attorney Tony Castro.

Bramson had previously been endorsed by every Democratic elected official in New Rochelle, the Town of Mamaroneck, and the Village of Larchmont, as well as several elected officials in Rye and Rye Brook.

“I am honored to have such a strong team at my side,” said Bramson. “I look forward to working in partnership with leaders and citizens as we apply new energy to the important challenges facing our community and state.”
