Construction workers, business leaders endorse Donovan
Republican Dan Donovan, the man seen by many political observers as the front-runner in the special election for the Southwest Brooklyn-Staten Island congressional seat, has picked up two more endorsements to boost his campaign.
On Monday, the Building and Construction Trades Council of Greater New York threw its support behind Donovan, the Staten Island district attorney who is making his first run at congress.
“Dan Donovan has always been a friend to labor,” said Gary LaBarbera, president of the council. “We need representatives in Washington who will be a strong voice for New York’s hardworking families. Dan never forgot his roots growing up in a middle-class labor household and we know he will be continue to be a leader on these issues.”
