Mayor Dave Cieslewicz, who leads the state's second-largest city, was courted by all leading candidates, but said he decided to back Edwards largely because of his focus on economic issues, especially the concerns of low-income Americans and the needs of cities.
"John Edwards is the only candidate who has talked consistently and before every audience about the issue of poverty in America," Cieslewicz said.
