With
just over 100 days to go until Election Day, New York City mayoral
candidate Zohran Mamdani
has received his biggest endorsement yet — from the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) union, ABC7 reported on
Wednesday.
UFT
President Michael Mulgrew lauded Mamdani for his position on affordability and
his declared willingness to boost funding for public education in New York,
stating that "the voters are saying the same thing, 'enough
is enough.' The
income gap disparity is above that, which we have seen that which we saw during
the Gilded Age."
Mamdani
celebrated the endorsement at a news conference with Mulgrew, saying that
"when we are looking at [Mayor] Eric Adams' education record and his
policies, I think there are important discussions to be had around literacy,
and I look forward to having those discussions not only with policy experts,
but also with this union," CBS News reported.
Adams'
campaign responded to the endorsement by stating, "Let's be clear: Mayor
Eric Adams' only agenda when it comes to our schools is putting students first,
not playing political games or appeasing union power brokers. Under Mayor
Adams' leadership, New York City has expanded early childhood education,
boosted literacy rates, and delivered record investments to historically
undeserved schools," the campaign said.
Mamdani
is a graduate of elite city high school Bronx Science and is an opponent of
charter schools, vowing to hire more teachers if elected, ABC7 reported.
He
stated that "what I've said time and again is that we need a system that
understands teachers, students, parents, as being part of the way in which we
deliver the educational policy of the city."
Mamdani
now has the support of more than a dozen labor unions in New York City. With
200,000 members, UFT is the city's second largest union.
The
biggest union in New York is DC37, which endorsed Council speaker Adrienne
Adams in the primary and has not yet endorsed any candidate in the general
election.
