CWA Local 1118 Endorses Kathy Sheehan for Mayor of Albany

ALBANY, NY (06/04/2013)(readMedia)-- An important message from Executive Vice President John Van Denburg regarding the upcoming election in Albany:

On behalf of the membership of the Communication Workers of America Local 1118, it is my pleasure to announce that we have chosen to endorse City Treasurer Kathy Sheehan for Albany City Mayor.

Kathy's experience as City Treasurer makes her the ideal candidate for this position. However, Kathy's credentials are just part of reason we have chosen to endorse her. Her chief assets are her humble Capital District roots and work ethics. She has supported the working people of the Capital District her entire career.

Kathy has served as an advocate for the working people of the capital district and has supported various labor organizations. Often observed at labor breakfasts and labor related functions, Kathy will work vigorously to improve the economic climate of the City, and support job creation programs throughout our communities. It is the responsibility of all working class people and elected officials to promote middle class ideals and together maintain the American Dream.

In light of all the above, I am pleased to announce that our board has voted to endorse City Treasurer Kathy Sheehan for Albany City Mayor.
