Two more New York City Democrats have announced their support for Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), further evidence of a swarming of support for the senator whose upstate roots and politics had turned off some of the more liberal members of Congress.

Reps. Ed Towns and Nydia Velazquez, both of Brooklyn, endorsed Gillibrand today, giving her 11 total endorsements from members of New York's House delegation and five from N.Y.C. In the past month, Gillibrand has also touted the endorsements of a number of women's groups, labor unions and prominent New Yorkers.

"I am confident in her commitment and ability to deliver on behalf of New Yorkers and look forward to working with her closely for many years to come," Towns said in a statement released by the campaign.

"As our state faces a time of great opportunity and extraordinary challenges, Kirsten Gillibrand has proven herself as an advocate for working families," said Velazquez, who chairs the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

Rep. Gregory Meeks (D) of Queens and the Rev. Al Sharpton had been the latest to endorse Gillibrand, announcing their support on Friday. The senator also received other good news that day: Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D) announced she would not challenge Gillibrand in the primary -- the second House Dem to bow out of the race, following Rep. Steve Israel.
