Elizabeth Benjamin reports on her blog, Capital Tonight, that Ed Koch is about to endorse Gustavo Rivera in his effort to defeat Senate Majority Leader Pedro Espada. Koch is leading the movement for reform with his New York Uprising group, so this is a key endorsement for Gustavo. It was also reported that State Senator Eric Schneiderman (who is running for AG) also endorsed Gustavo. That makes Mr. Schneiderman a pretty rare bird -- a Bronx politican willing to endorse someone against Pedro Espada. Stay Tuned.
Sam Dolnick is reporting that Diaz,Jr (and possibly Dinowitz?) are endorsing Rivera on Monday.
