Queens and Bronx Democratic Parties Endorse Kathy Hochul for a Full Term
|NEW YORK – The Queens and Bronx Democratic parties today endorsed Governor Kathy Hochul for a full term, adding to the already substantial groundswell of support for her campaign in New York City.
“It is an honor to receive the endorsement of the Queens and Bronx Democratic parties, whose members are as engaged as any in New York and embody the diversity that makes our party and State extraordinary,” said Governor Kathy Hochul. “Alongside Chairmen Meeks and Bailey, and community members from both boroughs, we’ll continue to fight for progress and build a brighter, more equitable future for all.”
“The Queens County Democrats are proud to stand with Governor Kathy Hochul and Lieutenant Governor Brian Benjamin to support their historic campaign for a full term,” said Chairman Gregory Meeks. “Queens continues to be the North Star for immigrants, new families and working New Yorkers. Governor Hochul’s groundbreaking investment in the new JFK terminal will create 10,000 jobs, greater opportunities for minority- and women-owned businesses and serve as a global gateway to New York. Governor Hochul’s new, transformational Brooklyn-Queens Connector will serve almost 90,000 daily riders and reduce travel time for working New Yorkers living in transit deserts. For these reasons and more, we look forward to working with Governor Hochul and Lieutenant Governor Benjamin to deliver results that strengthen our outer boroughs.”
“The Bronx Democratic Party is proud to endorse Governor Kathy Hochul for a full term,” said Chairman Jamaal Bailey. “When Governor Hochul took office in 2021, she made history as the first woman to serve as governor in New York’s history. In her time as our governor, she has made history by ushering in a new era of collaborative government, accountability, and compassionate leadership. From ensuring vaccine and testing access for Bronxites to taking decisive action to address the opioid crisis and making unprecedented investments to advance transit equity, Governor Hochul has shown up for the Bronx. As we continue to navigate the pandemic, she embodies the experienced, dedicated leadership that our communities need to recover and rebuild. Governor Hochul is uniquely equipped to lead our state through the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond, with decades of service at all levels of government and a record of fighting for New Yorkers from every corner of this state. Governor Hochul has kept her promise to Bronxites and we know she will continue to be a tremendous partner in the work ahead.”
