New York State Nurses Association Endorses NY-17 Congressional Candidate David Buchwald

Published

on

ROCKLAND COUNTY, N.Y. — Assemblyman David Buchwald, running for Congress in New York’s 17th Congressional District to succeed U.S. Rep. Nita Lowey, has been endorsed by the members of the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA), the largest union and association of registered nurses in the state. The union of 42,000 New York frontline nurses hailed his commitment to working people. Their support came on the same day Buchwald was endorsed by 32BJ SEIU, showcasing his campaign’s growing momentum with less than six weeks until the June 23rd Democratic Primary.

“NYSNA is proud to endorse David Buchwald for Congress,” said Jayne Cammisa, RN, NYSNA PAC member, Board Member, and Executive Committee member at Westchester Medical Center. “As an Assemblymember, David’s support for safe staffing, for Westchester nurses, and for our patients and community has been unwavering. We are confident he will bring this same commitment to working people and a more just healthcare system to Washington.”

“It is a true honor to have the support of NYSNA,” said Buchwald. “Their work protecting nurses and keeping other healthcare professionals safe during the COVID-19 pandemic is critical: ensuring access to PPE, fighting for crisis pay, securing testing, and more. In Congress, I’ll fight for national Paid Sick Leave, protect workers’ rights, and advocate for greater access to healthcare for everyone.”

The union joins a growing coalition of more than 70 groups and individuals supporting Buchwald, including the Communications Workers of America, New York State Professional Firefighters, 32BJ SEIU, Hudson Valley Stonewall Democrats, New York State Senator James Skoufis, multiple New York State Assemblymembers (Amy Paulin, Victor Pichardo, Gary Pretlow, Daniel O’Donnell, and Nader Sayegh), Westchester County Clerk Tim Idoni, Westchester County Board of Legislators Chairman Ben Boykin, Former NY-17 Democratic Congressional Candidate and Westchester County Legislator Catherine Borgia, White Plains Mayor Tom Roach among dozens of local elected officials, and all seven local Democratic Committees that have made endorsements in the race.

Published

on

NEW CITY, NY – Town of Clarkstown Councilman Patrick Carroll announces his candidacy for New York State Assembly District 96, to replace Assemblyman Ken Zebrowki who recently announced that he wasn’t seeking re-election. Councilman Carroll currently represents Ward 4, which encompasses Bardonia, New City, Nanuet, Spring Valley and West Nyack. He lives in Bardonia with his wife Natalie and their four daughters: Madelyn, Lily, Paige and Hailey. He is a graduate of Northeastern University School of Law and Wesleyan University, a licensed attorney, and currently works as an Administrative Law Judge for New York State.

“After speaking with community leaders, I have decided to seek election to the New York State Assembly. Filling my good friend Ken Zebrowski’s shoes will be no easy task, as he has been an outstanding and effective advocate for Rockland families. I hope to build on Ken’s substantial achievements and will work to protect the suburban quality of life that exists in Haverstraw, Nyack and Clarkstown.” said Councilman Carroll.

Since his announcement, Carroll has received key endorsements from democratic leaders from retired Legislator Harriet Cornell and Legislator Beth Davidson.

“When you knock about 3,000 doors alongside someone, you get to know them pretty well—what they believe in, what they stand for, whom they fight for. While I am so grateful to Ken Zebrowski for his 17 years of admirable and effective service as our Assemblyman, I am thrilled to endorse my friend Clarkstown Councilman Patrick J. Carroll for AD-96. I stand ready to knock another 2-3,000 doors to secure your election, Pat—and I know no one will work harder to help Dems up and down the ticket in November!” said Legislator Beth Davidson.
