“The hardworking members of these carpenters unions have built and rebuilt New York for generations, and are now helping our state move forward,” said Governor Kathy Hochul. “As the daughter of a proud union family, organized labor will always have an ally in me. I’m honored to receive these endorsements and will continue fighting for workers’ rights and protections for all.”

“The New York City District Council of Carpenters and the North Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters have kept New York’s economy and working families strong,” said Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado. “Together Governor Hochul and I are going to continue to fight for our unions and I’m honored to earn these endorsements.

“The New York City District Council of Carpenters and the North Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters are proud to jointly support and endorse Governor Kathy Hochul for a full term,” said Joseph A. Geiger, Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the New York City District Council of Carpenters. “During her time in office, Governor Hochul has shown that she is a prominent advocate for workers in New York City and across the entire State. Her commitment to securing fair wages and improving infrastructure is admirable. We look forward to continuing to work with Governor Hochul to build a better City and State for all New Yorkers.”
