A slew of Queens elected officials has formally endorsed former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s mayoral bid, following the backing of the Democratic Organization of Queens County and its chairman, U.S. Rep. Gregory W. Meeks.
State senators Joseph P. Addabbo and Toby Ann Stavisky, Assembly Members David Weprin and Edward Braunstein, and Council Member Lynn Schulman all officially endorsed Cuomo’s mayoral bid Tuesday. They cited the former governor’s record during the COVID-19 pandemic and the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. They also touted Cuomo’s performance on issues such as marriage equality, abortion rights, and public safety.
