AFSCME Backs Joe

I am proud to win the support of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees. They are New York's largest public service union with nearly 400,000 members from five affiliates, including CSEA, District Council 37, and AFSCME Councils 66, 82, and 35. They represent workers in every city, county, town, village, and school district in the state and people who care for the sick and the elderly in public hospitals and nursing homes. Their members deliver services to those with disabilities, the infirm, and the most vulnerable in our society. Their law enforcement members maintain public safety and security. These folks keep our state running, and New York works because these essential men and women get up every day to make it work.

I’m pleased to announce the endorsement of the NYS Right to Life Committee, founded in 1967. Here’s what they said:

 

“In recognition of your commitment to defending vulnerable persons from conception to natural death, the New York State Right to Life Committee is pleased to endorse your candidacy in the race for the 3rd state Assembly district in the 2024 election. We sincerely appreciate your standing firmly in defense of preborn children, the dependent elderly, people with disabilities and all innocent members of the human family, who are continually threatened by our current culture and laws to expand the culture of death.

 

Our fellow citizens depend on steadfast advocates such as you to protect the fundamental right to life, and we are heartened by your commitment to this basic human right. We wish you success and look forward to working together with you in the future. Best wishes for victory on Nov. 5, 2024!
