Two of the city’s most powerful unions, which endorsed Mayor Eric Adams in 2021, are instead supporting former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the 2025 NYC mayor’s race, his campaign announced on Monday.
The support of the two unions, 32BJ SEIU and the Hotel and Gaming Trades Council (HTC), which represent building service and hospitality industry workers, respectively, is highly sought after among local candidates each election cycle. The endorsements from the two unions help solidify Cuomo’s status as the clear frontrunner in the crowded Democratic primary race.
