Cuomo will join Pelosi for Manhattan fundraiser

We haven’t seen New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo make any endorsements in the Empire State’s slew of competitive congressional races, but he’ll attend a fundraiser Tuesday evening in New York City alongside House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, to raise money for the Super PAC boosting Democrats as they try to re-take the house.

Cuomo alluded to the event, which is expected to draw a small group of high-dollar donors, during a cabinet meeting earlier today. A Cuomo administration source said Pelosi asked the governor to attend; the event will take place at the Manhattan home of Charles Myers, an investment banker, according to someone familiar with its planning.

Last week former president Bill Clinton endorsed three Democratic congressional candidates — Dan Maffei as well as Reps. Louise Slaughter and Kathy Hochul — during an Upstate swing. Cuomo said he might hit the road before election day.

“Now we’re coming up to the point where endorsements are relevant…I will be doing more,” the governor said.
