NYSUT Endorses Senator Clinton

U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton received the endorsement of the New York State United Teachers, the state's largest union, in her bid for re-election during NYSUT's annual convention in Rochester May 5.

"Hillary Clinton has been with us on our issues - education, health care, labor and the concerns of working families - during her six years in the Senate and before that, in the White House as First Lady," NYSUT President Richard C. Iannuzzi said at the convention. "This was a very easy decision for us."

Senator Clinton, who is heavily favored to keep her seat, addressed the crowd. She also said in a statement that she was "delighted to receive this endorsement." NYSUT Executive Vice President Alan Lubin said financial, organizational and human resources would all be made available to the Senator's campaign.
