As one of the last members of the New York House delegation to back Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s election next year, Rep. Eric Massa, D-Corning, announced today that he will back the junior senator.

“I’ve seen first-hand Kirsten’s tireless commitment to getting New York back on the right track,” Massa said in a statement.

“In just six months, she’s brought an innovative approach to creating new jobs and rebuilding the economy so it works for everyday New York families. She knows what’s at stake for families in my district during these tough economic times, and she’s working every day to improve the lives of families in every corner of New York. That’s why I’m proud to endorse her for the U.S. Senate.”
