Eric Adams returned again to his native Queens today, locking up two more endorsements in a borough that could make or break his mayoral campaign.
State Sen. Joseph Addabbo Jr. and Assemblymember Stacey Pheffer Amato backed Adams today during an event in Rockaway Beach another notch on a Queens endorsement belt that already includes a slew of elected officials, particularly in voter-rich Southeast Queens where Adams recently opened a new campaign headquarters.
