NYC teachers' union president Mike Mulgrew backing Joe Biden....Go Joe 😎

New York City teachers’ union president Mike Mulgrew is backing Joe Biden for president.
Mulgrew, head of the United Federation of Teachers, is listed as a Biden delegate on petitions of voter signatures the former vice president is submitting to the state Board of Elections this week to qualify for ballot status in New York’s April 28 Democratic primary.
But Mulgrew emphasized that his personal support for Biden is not indicative on who the American Federation of Teachers, headed by his predecessor Randi Weingarten, ends up endorsing. The UFT is a local chapter of the AFT.
“Our national affiliate, the American Federation of Teachers, issues all national endorsements and is still in the midst of the endorsement process for the presidential race. Michael Mulgrew, as an individual, is running as a delegate for former Vice President Joe Biden. Other UFT members, also as individuals, are running as delegates for other Democratic presidential candidates – Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Former Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Biden,” a UFT spokesperson said.
“The ultimate goal, though, will be to get behind whoever wins the 2020 Democratic nomination in order to defeat President Trump.”
Biden is getting a big assist from the Cuomo-led NYS Democratic Party. Cuomo is a Biden booster — though the governor hasn’t officially endorsed him after the ex-veep stumbled through early debatesc



Tom Garry, a top adviser to state party chairman Jay Jacobs, has been spearheading Biden’s petition gathering effort here. Garry, who headed Hillary Clinton’s 2016 petition effort in New York, is vice chairman of the Nassau County Democratic Party also headed by Jacobs.
Biden delegates include dozens of establishment Democrats – including state Assemblyman and Bronx Democratic Party chairman Marcos Crespo, former Harlem Congressman Charles Rangel, Queens state Sen. Leroy Comrie, Albany County Executive Dan McCoy, Buffalo state Sen. Tim Kennedy, and Suffolk Sen. Monica Martinez.



Go Joe..😎
