NYACK, NY – Mondaire Jones, Democratic nominee in New York’s 17th Congressional District, announced he had been endorsed by the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA), the New York State United Teachers (NYSUT), the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), and the National Educators Association (NEA). Jones’ campaign is already supported by a number of labor unions, and last month he earned the endorsement of the New York State AFL-CIO.

“NYSNA members are excited to endorse Mondaire Jones’ candidacy for U.S. Congress as he champions policies in support of nurses, our families and our patients,” said NYSNA President Judy Sheridan-Gonzalez, RN. “In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, he stood alongside the dedicated nurses of NYP-Hudson Valley Hospital as they continued their protracted fight for a fair contract. Mondaire has made it clear that he will keep up the fight for all nurses in his district, and in the halls of Congress, as a strong, vocal advocate for safe staffing, paid sick leave, protection on the job, and Medicare for All.”

“We need representatives in Washington who will stand up for public schools, colleges and hospitals, and we know Mondaire will do exactly that,” said NYSUT President Andy Pallotta. “Especially now as we face a fiscal crisis, we’re proud to endorse Mondaire because he’s someone who will fight from within to make sure Congress does what’s right on behalf of all who benefit from high-quality public education and health care.”

“Now more than ever, we see the essential roles that our nurses and teachers play to keep our communities safe and healthy, literally risking their lives to save others and to educate our future generations,” said Jones. “I owe so much to my teachers in the East Ramapo Central School District, who provided the support and encouragement that got me where I am today. I also know that, unfortunately, my story is the exception and not the rule. We must fight harder for equal opportunity in our country. Everyone deserves the right to quality health care and a quality public education. Our local unions know I’ll be a champion for working people in Congress, and I am so honored to have their support.”
