Powerhouse Queens preacher Rev. Floyd Flake blessed Bill Thompson’s campaign for mayor.
“I’m on board with Bill,” Flake — pastor of Greater Allen AME Church in Jamaica, home to one of the largest congregations in the city — told The Post.
Flake cited Thompson’s experience in the business world, his two terms as city comptroller and his time spent as one-time president of the city’s Board of Education.
“Bill has a complement of skills that would make him truly a great mayor,” Flake said.
Flake, a former congressman in southeastern Queens, is not afraid to cross party lines. In 2009, he backed Mayor Bloomberg’s re-election and abandoned Thompson, whom he had supported in the Democratic primary.
But Flake insisted that he will stick with Thompson in the general election this time — if he wins the Democratic primary.
Flake’s endorsement could help solidify Thompson’s support in Queens’ largely African-American enclaves.
