Dianne Morales had a good week.
The former nonprofit CEO is a political newcomer with little name recognition, but this week, her campaign got a much needed boost of energy.
"When you had a week like Dianne this week, you're going to get a lot more people saying she can win, and she can," said state Senator Jabari Brisport, one of a handful of legislators backing Morales' bid.
The Working Families Party ranked Morales as their second choice in their endorsement on Tuesday, and her campaign got an infusion of cash Thursday when the City's Campaign Finance Board announced Morales would receive more than $2.2 million in public matching funds.
