22nd State Senate Seat: Mike DiSanto Picks up Some Endorsements [UPDATED]

In the race to replace obstructionist Republican Marty Golden in the State Senate, the young but enthusiastic Mike DiSanto has picked up three valuable endorsements: Brooklyn Democrats for Change, Lambda Independent Democrats and the Jim Owles Liberal Democratic Club. [UPDATE: Daily Gotham has since been alerted that DiSanto has also gotten the endorsement of the American Heitage Democratc Organization...if so I suggest DiSanto's team add it to his website. In fact it is time his website start adding ALL of these endorsements.]

From Brooklyn Democrats for Change:

Brooklyn deserves someone with new ideas, innovative thinking, honor and a background in achieving solid results. I am that person,” DiSanto told the club. “Legislators have created a system that has denied Southern Brooklyn the funding it needs and deserves. Government is a service to the people -- to make peoples’ lives better. Tonight I am asking you to help send me to Albany. And when I get there, I will fight for you. I will fight to end corruption and waste, I will to ensure our district gets the funding it deserves and that our families are protected and have the services their tax dollars are paying for.”

Lambda Independent Democrats' full endorsement list for the primary can be found here: http://lidbrooklyn.org/?p=283

I should note some other great names in their list (I don't agree with their whole list, but I do agree with most of it):
