"It is my pleasure to welcome you in the City of Brotherly Love to nominate our first sister president," Lowey said in a speech delivered on the convention floor in Philadelphia.

Lowey, who represents Rockland and most of Westchester, told delegates that she has the "privilege" to "serve teachers, first-responders, veterans, college students, small-business owners and seniors and my good friend and colleague, the next president of the United States of America, Hillary Clinton."

Lowey, a Harrison resident, said she and other New Yorkers "really know Hillary."

Lowey introduced the former secretary of state during one of Clinton's first New York primary campaign stops at SUNY Purchase on April 1.

Lowey said she learned from working alongside Clinton that "Hillary doesn't just fight the tough battles, Hillary wins them."
