Throughout his career in public service, Governor Cuomo has been a champion for working New Yorkers. He raised wages for millions of workers, passed the strongest gun violence prevention and paid family leave laws in the nation, advanced the most substantial infrastructure program in a generation, including the Second Avenue Subway, the Moynihan Train Hall, the new Kosciuszko Bridge and the new JFK and LaGuardia airports and codified Roe vs. Wade in state law years before the Supreme Court overturned it, all while cutting taxes and reining in spending.
The District Leaders join former New York State Comptroller H. Carl McCall, U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres, the Staten Island Democratic Party, Assembly Member Yudelka Tapia, New York City and Vicinity District Council of Carpenters, District Council 9 of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades, former national director of the ACLU Abe Foxman, the Village Reform Democratic Club, and the Italian American Leadership Council in endorsing Governor Cuomo for Mayor of New York City.
