“I’m deeply grateful to our district leaders for their support and their partnership in this fight to elect better Democrats. At a moment when our democracy is facing a five-alarm fire, it will take neighborhood leaders, organizers and everyday New Yorkers standing together to protect it. This coalition is ready to do that work and fight for the future our communities deserve,” said Brad Lander, candidate for Congress for NY-10.
These neighborhood leaders represent the grassroots backbone of the district and are uniting behind Lander’s people-powered campaign.
“We are in a five-alarm fire in this country. Our own people, whether citizens or not, are being abducted and murdered by our government. Our tax dollars are being used to perpetuate a livestreamed genocide. Our voting rights are quietly being stripped away. We need a leader with moral clarity who is not afraid to stand up against tyranny and is willing to put their body on the line for what is right. Brad Lander has shown us that this is the kind of Congressmember he will be. I am honored to endorse Brad Lander for U.S. Congress,” said Vittoria Fariello, District Leader for AD-61.
“Brad Lander is exactly the kind of effective progressive leader Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn need fighting for us now. He knows how to organize our neighborhoods to meet the moment, and he’ll never fold in the face of Trumpism. I’m proud to endorse Brad Lander for Congress,” said Paul Newell, District Leader for AD-65C.
“Brad Lander is one of the most principled, thoughtful people I have worked with in my 30 years as a district leader. Brad cares. Brad treats the people he represents as equals. And Brad acts quickly and effectively,” said Arthur Schwartz, District Leader for AD-66A.
“Brad has a proven record of organizing with tenants, immigrants and workers and building a real progressive coalition, and I trust him to treat this job like movement work and not a cable news platform,” said Julio Peña III, District Leader for AD-51.
We’ve known Brad here in Red Hook for over a decade. He is someone the community can count on. He does what he says he will and is always fighting for our neighbors, borough and especially those who can’t fight for themselves. That’s who we need in NY-10 — someone who shows up,” said Jacqui Painter, District Leader for AD-51.
“Whether it is fighting for our immigrant neighbors, a more affordable New York or a more transparent Democratic Party, Brad has been on the frontlines for us since the beginning. He has been an example to all of the volunteer organizers in New York, and he will bring our fight to Washington with the same principles he always demonstrated back at home,” Aaron Ouyang, District Leader for AD-52.
I’m proud to support Brad, someone who has literally put his own body on the line to protect our immigrant communities,” said Mark Hanna, District Leader for AD-64.
Additionally, the new endorsements add to a growing list of local support that includes:
