More And More Momentum From Labor For New York State Senator Rivera’s Re-Election

 

Sen. Gustavo Rivera's re-election campaign is gaining more and more momentum by the day with endorsements from influential labor unions like New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA), United Federation of Teachers (UFT), and Council of School Supervisors & Administrators (CSA). In addition, Senator Rivera has also recently received endorsements from NY Immigration Coalition Action, Make the Road Action, and the Jim Owles Club. These endorsements demonstrate his robust, diverse, coalition of voters from across the 33rd District and organizations sticking with him. 

"I am very proud of my long record of supporting the working people of New York State. These important endorsements, which I am humbled to receive, recognize my commitment to improving the lives and conditions of my neighbors by empowering workers, especially union members. I will also continue to fight to ensure New York welcomes immigrants and stands up for our LGBTQIA+ siblings on the issues that impact them everyday,” said Senator Gustavo Rivera.

Nancy Hagans, President, New York State Nurses Association; RN, CCRN, BSN: 

• “On behalf of our 42,000 frontline nurses, NYSNA wholeheartedly endorses Sen. Gustavo Rivera for re-election. As the Chair of the Health Committee, Senator Rivera will always be a fighter for the Bronx. He champions the NY Health Act and understands the necessity of having fully staffed hospitals so patients can get the quality care they deserve. He has always supported us — before and during the COVID-19 pandemic — and we know he will continue to support and fight for safe staffing levels.”

Allen Roskoff, President, Jim Owles Democratic Club: 

• “I am proud to endorse Senator Gustavo Rivera for re-election. As chair of the Senate Health Committee, he has worked tirelessly to protect abortion rights, for the rights of Seniors and the LGBTQ community, and for racial and economic equality, and criminal justice reform. Gustavo is not subservient to the Bronx Democratic Machine. He fights for you, not the county bosses.”
