(readMedia) On Monday, the 2.5 million member New York
State AFL-CIO announced endorsements of candidates running for State
Senate and Assembly. The endorsements took place at the State
Federation's 32nd Constitutional Convention.
Mario Cilento, president of the New York State AFL-CIO, said, "The
endorsement of the New York State AFL-CIO is not just a piece of
paper. We will coordinate grassroots campaigns and get out the vote
efforts throughout the state to ensure that our members understand
the critical issues in these elections and just how important it is
that they get to the polls and support our endorsed candidates."
Members will be contacted on the job and at home through member
mailings, worksite flyers, phone bank operations and a
"labor-to-neighbor" program, where union members visit
other members in the area to discuss a particular race.
The following candidates were endorsed:
