Here's the text of an e-mail we received from Bill De Blasio 's campaign team:
We would like to share some very exciting news with you. Yesterday evening, the Working Families Party announced its endorsement of Bill for Public Advocate! This critical endorsement comes on the heels of two other major endorsements for Bill's campaign - the ACORN Political Action Committee APAC and CWA District 1 both endorsed bill in January of this year.
Regarding the endorsement, Bill said, "In this city, there's no more consistent voice for the middle-class and no bigger grassroots force than the Working Families Party, and I'm incredibly proud to have their support. Together, we can make sure that even in America's biggest city the voice of the public is heard in the halls of power."
Bob Master, Working Families Party Co-Chair, said, "Bill has spent his life taking on and winning the tough fights. Whether it is making sure our schools get their fair share of funding, workers have the right to join a union, or big developers build affordable housing, Bill de Blasio has always been there for working families when it counts."
Bill is proud to have the Working Families Party join a growing coalition dedicated to making our grassroots campaign a success. For more information about Bill's campaign, please visit our website at www.billdeblasio.com .
As always, thank you for continually voicing and showing your support.
Friends of Bill de Blasio
