Markowitz says Squadron ‘knows how to get results’
Endorses state senator for public advocate
Borough President Marty Markowitz threw his support behind state Sen. Daniel Squadron in the race for public advocate, citing Squadron’s record of results in office and his vision for the public advocate’s role as the reasons for his support.
Markowitz’s support, announced at an event in front of Borough Hall on Tuesday, comes on the heels of The New York Times’ endorsement of Squadron (D-Brooklyn Heights-downtown Brooklyn-parts of Manhattan) on Aug. 24.
“I’ve worked closely with Daniel and can tell you one thing: he knows how to get results. Daniel’s made a huge difference here in Brooklyn, improving subway and bus service when people said it couldn’t be done, protecting and expanding affordable housing for seniors and families who need it, and negotiating the agreement to move Brooklyn Bridge Park forward with great new amenities,” Markowitz said.
“As Public Advocate, Daniel will deliver results for everyday New Yorkers working to make a life here — New Yorkers who need someone like Daniel to fight for them. I’m very proud to support Daniel Squadron as our next Public Advocate!” Markowitz said.
