State Senator John Liu threw his support behind Andrew Yang in the Democratic Primary race for mayor on Monday.
The former city councilman, comptroller and mayoral candidate compared Yang to history-making figures in New York City politics, praising him for putting the Asian American community in the spotlight during his presidential campaign.
"This is a man who stuck to it," Liu said. "I know how difficult it is to run for office. He became our hope, he was our dream. He is a bit our Shirley Chisholm."
