“Victory! Congratulations to all the New Yorkers who joined with us in helping to create a better vision for our City,” Arthur Cheliotes, President of CWA Local 1180, a Coalition Partner of NYCN4S, said. “Thank you to all of the New Yorkers who stood with us, who believed that we could live in a City that is more caring and compassionate than the City we live in today. We are proud that we were successful in bringing forward a message, which captured what New Yorkers truly have in their hearts. We stood up against the closing of hospitals, and New Yorkers heard our message. We voiced concerns about the future of democracy and the over-turning of term limits, and New Yorkers listened. We supported a message of working families and for those that are not always able to defend themselves, and New Yorkers supported us overwhelmingly. If you use your position to advance your own career rather than the interests of the constituents, New Yorkers will find you unworthy of elected office. Clearly, that was reflected in the voting booths today.”
