Endorsements aren’t everything, but in the Democratic primary race for state attorney general, the distribution of endorsements is very lopsided. New York City Public Advocate Letitia James leads the pack in endorsements, having obtained the support of the state Democratic Party and various elected officials.

But Zephyr Teachout is gaining support from progressive politicians, clubs, causes and organizations – including New York City Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer, who recently withdrew his support for James.

Meanwhile, Leecia Eve is shoring up her support in the Buffalo area. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney has fallen far behind, but he has an impressive campaign war chest that may help him offset his disadvantage in endorsements.

City & State reached out to all four campaigns and received an updated list of endorsements for three of the candidates but did not immediately get a response from Maloney’s campaign.
