I’m proud to have the overwhelming support of organized labor in this race. On Monday, ~200 labor union members came to rally for us. Since then, we’ve been endorsed by @nysaflcio.bsky.social & @uft.org. Investing in organized labor is the pathway to restore our middle class.

I'm deeply honored to have @nysaflcio.bsky.social's endorsement. The 2.5 million New Yorkers who are members of AFL-CIO unions are the people who teach our kids, build our buildings, staff our hospitals, drive our trains, and keep this state running.
