Three Long Island Assemblymembers Endorse Governor Kathy Hochul
NEW YORK – Assemblymembers Fred Thiele, Gina Sillitti, and Judy Griffin today endorsed Governor Kathy Hochul’s campaign for a full term. The assemblymembers join Congresswoman Kathleen Rice, former U.S. Representatives Tim Bishop and Steve Israel, the Long Island State Senate Democratic Delegation, and several other members of the Assembly, showing an unmatched level of support for Governor Hochul on Long Island.
“I am honored to receive the endorsement of these incredible public servants of the New York State Assembly who work every day to improve the lives of Long Island families,” said Governor Kathy Hochul. “These members have proven themselves to be tremendous leaders for our state, and I’m so glad that I can count on their support. Since taking office, I’ve been focused on the issues that matter most to Long Islanders and committed to delivering results for all New Yorkers.”
Fred Thiele, District 1
“I’m proud to support our Governor Kathy Hochul, who has been an outstanding partner in government and friend to the East End. I have every confidence that she will continue to lead with the same dedication and compassion with a full term in office.”
Gina Sillitti, District 16
“This being Women’s History Month, I’m proud to endorse the first female Governor of the State of New York. Governor Hochul is no stranger to Long Island and knows the needs of our district – school aid, infrastructure, shoreline resiliency, stormwater funding, and support for our small businesses. She’s been a steady hand in these difficult times, and has never been one to back down from a fight – exactly what New York needs in a Governor. I look forward to continuing our work together and delivering for Long Island.”
Judy Griffin, District 21
“I am proud to endorse our Governor Kathy Hochul for a full term in 2022 because she has a proven track record of transparency, diligence, and accessibility while serving in all levels of government. As governor she is a dynamic, passionate, and stellar leader who is committed to the issues that matter to Long Island. Right out of the gate, she has made impressive strides in working collaboratively to revitalize our economy to help residents and small businesses across New York State to thrive. I have been impressed with Governor Hochul’s presence on Long Island and grateful for her interest in my assembly district. I look forward to continuing working with her to enhance the lives of my constituents while crafting policies that will serve to strengthen our state.”
