Rep. Hinchey To Back John Hall's Congressional Bid

More political figures are starting to take sides in the Democratic scramble in New York's 19th Congressional District.

Yesterday, RFK Jr. announced his support for John Hall in that race

Today, Hall's campaign announced that Rep. Maurice Hinchey, from the neighboring 22nd District, will announce his support for Hall at a press conference on Monday.

The Hall campaign says Hinchey and "others" will endorse Hall and "call for unity among the Democrats in supporting John Hall" against incumbent Republican Sue Kelly.

Hinchey is in his 14th year in the House. His district runs from Newburgh, Poughkeepsie and Kingston in the east to as far as Binghamton and Ithica to the west.
