Dear Friends,
I have great news to share -- I have been endorsed by progressive powerhouse 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers!
George Gresham, the president of 1199SEIU, said, "Marc Landis has a proven record as a progressive activist dedicated to improving our public schools, creating good jobs, advocating for affordable health care and protecting affordable housing for the working families of New York City. As a Democratic party official and through his pro bono legal work he has shown the promise to be a City Council representative who will always stand up for the Upper West Side community and the city."
