U.S. -- Some local congressional leaders are sticking with Hillary Clinton until the very end.

Representatives Kirsten Gillibrand and Michael Arcuri have come together with other leaders from around the country to encourage Democrats to support Clinton.

Gillibrand and Arcuri joined with a dozen other Democrats in a letter to fellow party members.

They said her wins in states where Barack Obama was outspending her is proof that she is the right candidate. They emphasize how crucial the remaining six contests are saying, "Voters in our states and across the country are voting on issues that affect them, their communities and their children's future. We believe that they will decide that Hillary is the candidate who best understands those issues and has the best solutions to address them."
