(Wall Street Journal) — New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn endorsed Council Member Ruben Wills for re-election Thursday, one day after he appeared in court to face a misdemeanor stealing charge. Quinn made the endorsement in response to a question from The Wall Street Journal about former Council Member Allan Jennings’s bid to unseat Wills in the Sept. 13 Democratic primary. Wills won a special election in southeast Queens last year to succeed Thomas White, who died in August, but he must win re-election this year to continue to serve the remainder of White’s four-year term.
