The momentum just keeps rolling, folks! Yvette received the endorsement of the members of 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East – the largest healthcare union in the United States! Here’s what they had to say about Yvette’s candidacy: “Our members are dedicated caregivers and activists – both on the job and in their communities. We support Congresswoman Clarke because we know her track record – she has rallied with us on picket lines, and advocated in Washington for the needs of our patients and our communities. We look forward to continuing to work with her to expand the rights of working people, and access to care for every New Yorker.” – Gabby Seay, Political Director of 1199SEIU Yvette and everyone here on Team Clarke are so grateful for the support of our brothers and sisters in labor. Yvette is fighting for a Brooklyn that works for all of us – not just the select few. And she’ll continue to work with and for 1199SEIU members to win quality healthcare and good jobs for all. Yvette will also be on NY1’s Inside City Hall at 7:00pm tonight to discuss these issues and more – tune in if you’re able! Thanks! -- Ross
