Impartial mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo was endorsed Saturday by the United Clergy Coalition, an alliance of religion leaders representing greater than 150 congregations from throughout New York Metropolis.
Coalition members cited Cuomo’s earlier management as New York State governor, his detailed plans to “rebuild trust” between communities and legislation enforcement, his plan to develop entry to inexpensive housing, and his assist for neighborhood-based financial improvement as key components of their choice to again him.
“Grateful to have the endorsement of the United Clergy Coalition — representing more than 150 congregations across NYC. Faith leaders have always been at the heart of our city’s progress. Together, we’ll build a safer, fairer and more hopeful New York for all,” Cuomo mentioned on X.
“We stand with Governor Andrew Cuomo because of his proven experience, steady leadership during times of crisis, and wisdom in guiding our city and state through challenging moments,” mentioned Bishop Gerald Seabrooks of Rehoboth Cathedral in Brooklyn, the president of the United Clergy Coalition.
The outstanding clergy group’s assist comes after Cuomo was formally endorsed by Mayor Adams on Thursday to succeed him.
“Now it’s time to fight for the family, and I’m going to fight for the family with Andrew Cuomo as the next mayor,” Adams mentioned after embracing the previous governor at a Thursday afternoon endorsement press convention in Harlem.
