In a significant boost for his mayoral campaign, ex-Governor Andrew Cuomo has received the endorsement of the Ironworkers union as their top candidate for the 2025 election. They also endorsed Senator Jessica Ramos as their second choice. This endorsement adds to the support Cuomo has gained from other unions, showing increasing traction among blue-collar organizations. While Ramos is recognized for her commitment to labor rights, she is currently trailing in polls behind Cuomo and fellow candidate Zohran Mamdani, who did not receive the Ironworkers’ endorsement.
The Ironworkers endorsing Cuomo as their top choice for Mayor signals increasing momentum in his campaign, as he's gained support from three unions in quick succession.
Senator Ramos has been a champion for labor rights and working families throughout her career, standing shoulder to shoulder with union members on picket lines.
Ramos emphasizes that her campaign is about building a NYC where one good job assures dignity for New Yorkers, relying on organized labor's support.
Cuomo's spokesperson highlighted his record of constructing major infrastructure projects, asserting that these achievements ensure good wages and opportunities for union members.
