Dear Lucas,
Representing Upper Manhattan and the Bronx in Congress has been an honor
and a privilege. I'm incredibly proud of my service and, as I look
to the future, it's important that I support a candidate who will
work equally hard for New York. That's why I am proud to announce
my endorsement of Keith Wright's campaign for Congress.
Keith is the best choice for New York's 13th District!
I first came to Congress in 1971. The world has changed since then, but
my commitment to the great people of New York has remained steadfast.
Our city is my priority - I created the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone,
sponsored the Affordable Care Act to expand healthcare coverage, and protested
injustice by the hands of police officers. I made sure that Social Security
was safe while raising the minimum wage and protecting low-income housing.
I know that Keith Wright will continue this legacy.
Keith has spent decades fighting for our community in Albany. His leadership
has created real change for New York. He's empowered hard-working
New Yorkers to protect our rights by establishing free legal clinics and
has always fought to protect and expand affordable housing. The Second
Avenue Subway extension is funded because of his tenacity.
Like me, when his constituents are protesting for equality, Keith is not
afraid to stand side by side with activists - even willing to risk arrest
to stand up for our hardest working brothers and sisters.
Our community needs a tireless advocate like Keith Wright who will always
stand up for what is right, even in the face of right-wing extremism in
Washington. I know first-hand how essential it is to have an authentic
New York leader in Congress fighting for our city. Keith Wright is the
man to build on the success we have achieved together in my tenure and
I'm proud to endorse Keith Wright as the next Congressman representing NY-13.
What the people of Harlem, the Bronx, Washington Heights, Inwood, El Barrio,
and East Harlem need in Washington is not just an experienced legislator,
but a community builder and proven leader, which Keith Wright has demonstrated
to be throughout his entire public service career. We can count on Keith
to represent the diverse needs of our community and keep fighting for
all of us.
