Gov. Cuomo to appear with Hillary Clinton at gun control dinner
New York Daily NewsGov. Cuomo is set to make a joint appearance with Hillary Clinton Thursday night at a pro-gun control gala in the city.
Cuomo will help introduce Clinton, the Democratic presidential front-runner, when she receives a “leadership” award named after his father, former Gov. Mario Cuomo, at a Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence dinner at Cipriani on Broadway.
"Hillary Clinton has spent decades taking on the gun lobby and fighting in Washington for sensible gun control,” Cuomo told the Daily News. “This is a battle to save lives and I'm proud to help in any way I can."
For the governor, the event is a political twofer, giving him play at a public event with Clinton on a gun control issue he has used to raise his own national profile since the state passed the tough SAFE Act in 2013 in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
