Unions have been busy the past several weeks handing out endorsements to candidates, with primary season—while pushed back—coming soon.
Last week, District Council 37 endorsed CUNY professor Dr. Anthony Andrews Jr. for State Assembly District 32 in Queens.
Andrews unveiled his plans to run for the New York State Assembly seat on the promise of reforming taxes, building more affordable housing, and improving the overall quality of life for his constituents. Andrews is currently a professor and the director of student Leadership at CUNY York College and previously served as the chair of Queens Hospital Center’s Community Advisory Board. He’s also a union delegate for the Professional Staff Congress at CUNY , the union that represents CUNY’s faculty and staff, the New York State Union Teachers and the American Federation of Teachers.
“I look forward to progressing legislation to create a healthier planet, to promote good jobs and economic justice, to pursue quality health care for all, and more,” stated Cunningham. “Having their support will make our coalition for this progressive legislative agenda all that much more powerful.”
