New York has several close House races this year- and that means outside interest from national groups.

That includes the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which today announced its first formal endorsement in a New York race.

The group is backing Republican Congressman John Katko, who is running for his third term in the 24th Congressional District, and is being challenged by Democrat Dana Balter.

Talking more about that race and the midterm elections is U-S Chamber executive vice president Neil Bradley.
