Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo will endorse Democrat Thomas Suozzi for Nassau County executive at a rally Saturday, sources with direct knowledge told Newsday.
Cuomo will make the announcement at a Democratic unity rally; he will endorse party candidates in Nassau and Suffolk counties. The event is slated for 11 a.m. at the Albertson VFW Hall.
Suozzi trying to unseat Republican County Executive Edward Mangano – who ousted Suozzi in 2009.
Cuomo has had a cordial relationship with Mangano. On Friday, the governor joined Mangano and local officials to announce the reopening of the Long Beach boardwalk.
This will be the second high-profile endorsement Suozzi snags in a week – Thursday, former President Bill Clinton came to Nassau to back Suozzi’s comeback bid.
