On Thursday, April 13, the Ithaca chapter of Progressive Democrats of America voted to endorse Jonathan Tasini for United States Senate. Tasini received two-thirds of votes by members required for endorsement. Incumbent Senator Hillary Clinton did not receive any votes.

The group agreed that Tasini would be the best candidate for Senator from New York, speaking out on the issues of peace, health care, and economics that concern us all.

Congratulations, Jonathan! Hope this is just the first in a series of victories leading to your representing the state of New York in the U.S. Senate next January.
