In a statement, Abreu said “I am humbled to receive the endorsement from one of New York State’s most progressive parties. It is an honor to receive support from the same party that endorsed Senator Bernie Sanders,” said Abreu. “Working families are the backbone of our City’s economy, and yet the hard-working families of our communities, and in the 14th district continue to be underrepresented and underserved. As our community’s next city councilmember, I will fight for the traditionally disadvantaged, and live up to the values of the Working Families Party every day.”
