Stonewall Democrats Of NYC Endorse Governor Kathy Hochul

NEW YORK – Stonewall Democrats of New York City (SDNYC) today announced their endorsement of Governor Kathy Hochul’s campaign for a full term. Founded in 1986, SDNYC is the oldest and largest citywide LGBTQ+ Democratic organization in New York City.

This is the second prominent LGBTQ+ organization to endorse Governor Hochul. Earlier this week, Governor Hochul received the endorsement of the Jim Owles Liberal Democratic Club.

“It is an honor to receive this endorsement from the Stonewall Democrats of New York City,” said Governor Kathy Hochul. “Together, we’ll continue to ensure New York remains a safe and inclusive state, where our LGBTQ+ community is empowered, protected, and supported.”

“Governor Kathy Hochul has proven that she will advance LGBTQ+ rights across New York State,” said SDNYC President Justin Sanchez. “From securing the largest increase of LGBTQ Health and Human Services funding in State history to ensuring every New Yorker can use their preferred names and pronouns, to ramping up funding to combat hate crimes, Governor Hochul is a true ally. She won our endorsement because we believe that she is not only an ally, but our best fighter in the Democratic primary against radical right-wing candidates who wish to erase the progress of our community. We are proud to endorse her for a full term.”
