Adrienne Adams has secured the endorsement of DC 37, New York City's largest municipal employees union, significantly enhancing her position in the upcoming mayoral primary against incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and City Comptroller Brad Lander. The union, representing over 240,000 city workers and retirees, notably chose not to endorse former Gov. Andrew Cuomo due to his past actions related to public employee benefits. The endorsement is expected to positively impact Adamsâ campaign while outlining labor's discontent with other candidates. Additionally, DC 37 has made other endorsements for various municipal positions, demonstrating its influence in local politics.
The endorsement gives Adams a major boost, while the Daily News said it represents a setback for both the incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and current City Comptroller Brad Lander.
DC 37 members decided against endorsing Cuomo who, during his time as governor, sought to cut benefits to public sector employees and to raise the minimum retirement age in New York State.
