CWAers and All Working People Win Big in New York State Primaries

Across New York State, CWA and New York's working people won big in last Thursday's primary election. CWA members worked tirelessly to get out the vote throughout the last several weeks. CWA members knocked on hundreds of doors, made thousands of phone calls, attended rallies, and participated at candidates' events.

CWA's winning candidates last week included Andrew Cuomo (Governor), Kathy Hochul (Lt. Governor), Tish James (Attorney General), John Liu, Jessica Ramos, Julia Salazar, Zellnor Myrie, Alessandra Biaggi, Tim Kennedy, and Jen Metzger (State Senate).

Governor Andrew Cuomo has been there for us time and again over the years, from the Momentive Strike to advocating for Safe Staffing levels for healthcare workers, to standing with us in the fight for high quality telecom service. His victory, along with that of Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul and Tish James running for Attorney General, is a big win for New York's working people.

The State Senate wins represent a huge shift in New York State politics. Several longtime incumbents who have betrayed working people again and again lost their seats to fresh faces who are committed to fighting for us. When we fight, we win!
