Governor Andrew Cuomo Endorses Tom Suozzi

PRESS RELEASE
WRITTEN BY: CAMPAIGN FOR TOM SUOZZI FOR COUNTY EXECUTIVE

(Albertson, NY) - Governor Andrew Cuomo endorsed Tom Suozzi for County Executive today at a campaign rally attended by hundreds of supporters at the Albertson VFW Hall.

“We need to build a Democratic Party for all New Yorkers. We must demand performance from government. Taxpayers are repressed and demand efficiency,” said Cuomo. “We will Elect Tom Suozzi the next Nassau County Executive!” he concluded.

“Governor Cuomo navigated the maze of government to pass the landmark Property Tax cap- and it is being undermined in Nassau County by the Mangano Administration. Governor Cuomo is here today because he believes in my vision for Nassau County’s future,” said Suozzi.

In addition to support of Governor Cuomo the Suozzi campaign continues its momentum surge with endorsements coming this week from President Bill Clinton and the New York Times editorial board. The Times  recognized that Suozzi had “rescued the county before,” and cited his “excellent agenda” and vision for fixing the county’s mismanaged finances.

“It will take Mr. Suozzi, whom we recommend with enthusiasm, to get Nassau moving forward again”, the editorial board wrote.

This came on the heels of Suozzi’s endorsement by Newsday, who also heralded Suozzi’s leadership, vision, and fiscal know-how: “He’s acquired maturity and wisdom, and a palpable commitment to finish the job he started. Newsday endorses Suozzi.”

Unable to defend his record of “budget gimmickry and habitual borrowing”, as noted by the New York Times, Mangano has continually dodged opportunities to debate the issues. First, he stunned the non-partisan League of Women Voters by turning down their nationally recognized debate in mid-October. Then he shocked News 12 by dropping out of their debate, leaving county residents without a chance to hear him defend his abysmal record on local television. He was also a no-show at a debate held at the New York Civic Engagement Table on Thursday.
