The WFP’s New York City Coordinating Council, the grassroots leadership of the WFP in New York City voted today to endorse Ydanis Rodriguez for City Council District 10, which spans Washington Heights, Inwood, and Marble Hill.
Ydanis and the WFP go way back: Working Families supported the the community leader’s first run for City Council in 2001. From the press release:
Flora Huang, Working Families Party Manhattan Chapter Co-Chair and Washington Heights resident said, “Ydanis has been a progressive leader for working families in Washington Heights, Inwood, and Marble Hill for years. We’ve supported him before, and we’re very proud to stand with him again in his campaign to represent our community and clean up City Hall.”
“The Working Families Party is a tireless advocate for open, transparent government and the rights of working people,” said Ydanis Rodriguez. “I’m proud to have them with me in my campaign for change. I look forward to working with them in City Hall on job creation, improving education for our children and fighting for working families throughout New York City.”
Look out for WFP members and activists on the campaign trail uptown!
