Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez received endorsements and praise from Senator Chuck Schumer, New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Congressman Jerrold Nadler on Sunday. The three Democratic leaders stood next to Velázquez, who is in the middle of a primary race against City Councilman Erik Dilan and political newcomer Dan O'Connor.

Dominican leaders led a march in support of Congressman Charles Rangel on Saturday afternoon in Washington Heights. Currently in a primary race for his seat in the new 13th Congressional district against three other candidates, including State Senator Adriano Espaillat, the embattled politician's supporters marched from Inwood to Rangel's campaign office.
