New York State Assembly Member O’Donnell Enthusiastically Endorses Randy Abreu for New York City Council in District 14

The Bronx, NY –  Today the campaign of Randy Abreu for City Council announced another endorsement, from New York State Assembly Member Daniel J. O’Donnell. This endorsement accompanies the endorsements of New York State Senator Gustavo Rivera, 1199SEIU, Working Families Party, United Auto Workers, Stonewall Democratic Club of New York, and more.

City Council Candidate Randy Abreu said, “Today, we are proud to earn another endorsement in our race to bring real change and a real progressive voice to the 14th City Council District in the Bronx. New York State Assembly Member Daniel J. O’Donnell announced his enthusiastic endorsement for me for the New York City Council.”

Abreu continued, “Assembly Member O’Donnell’s record in the New York State Assembly has set the progressive standard for what public service is truly about: the people. From sponsoring the Marriage Equality Act, creating the State’s first anti-bullying law, to defending and advancing affordable housing and living wage jobs, Assemblyman O’Donnell is a champion for criminal justice reform and social justice in New York. It will be my honor to carry his torch to the Bronx, to engage our youth on their rights under the law and how we can work together to live our best lives.”

Assembly Member O’Donnell said, “Randy Abreu is a vibrant voice in a district that needs it the most. His innovative plans to empower the community through Coding as language classes, as well as ensuring that his community receives their fair share from the city makes him the perfect candidate for District 14. I enthusiastically support Randy. Under the Trump administration, the Bronx will face massive cuts to social programs, and will need a strong representative. The residents of District 14 can count on Randy to fight for them and their livelihoods. From the events in Charlottesville it’s clear that we need to take a forceful and vocal stand against bigotry and hatred, and there’s no one better to do that in this race than Randy Abreu.”

Assembly Member O’Donnell’s support highlights how important the election for District 14 is to the residents. After 8 years with an incumbent that only listens to special interests, hard working families have been left without a true advocate. The primary election is on September 12th.
