ST. LOUIS - Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton picked up support Thursday from St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay, Missouri's first prominent Democrat to publicly endorse a candidate.
"What I like about her more than anything is her experience and long track record in advocating for cities," Slay told reporters. He said Clinton shares his desire for stronger neighborhoods, better education and better jobs.
"If Sen. Clinton becomes President Clinton, I know St. Louis will have a strong advocate in the White House," Slay said.
Clinton called Slay "one of a new breed of mayors who are revitalizing their cities and setting an example for the rest of the country. I'm honored to have his support."
