The follow endorsements were announced today:
The Communications Workers of America (CWA) has endorsed Democrat Christine Clarke for State Assembly in the 26th district.
“Clarke has the CWA endorsement because of her genuine values. She ran to support constituents in her District, not to do the bidding of some corporate controlled political boss. She supports equal rights, collective bargaining, public education and services, pension funding, fair taxes, green Jobs and unions. In other words, she’s the opposite of Jay Webber,” said Hetty Rosenstein, Area Director of CWA.
