Following Tuesday's announcement of our endorsement of Bill de Blasio for mayor, StreetsPAC supports Bill as he campaigns in Brooklyn.

Bill de Blasio, wife Chirlane, and Councilmember Brad Lander sport StreetsPAC T-shirts at yesterday's event.

Here's a round-up of press covering the endorsement:

"His pledge that he would replace Ray Kelly as police commissioner and instruct the NYPD to really crack down on the most dangerous driving behaviors, like speeding and failure to yield, was a statement that none of his rivals have made."

"StreetsPAC's nod to de Blasio is the organization's first-ever mayoral endorsement—a big deal for New York City. But it's also a big deal for urbanists, transit enthusiasts, bikers and pedestrians everywhere."
