UFT endorses Bill de Blasio for NYC mayor
Joins Teamsters, Bill and Hillary Clinton
Saying that City Hall and teachers need to work together to ensure that New York City kids receive the best education possible, the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) on Wednesday endorsed Democratic mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio.
This comes on the heels of endorsements by both former Secretary of State Hillary and former President Bill Clinton. De Blasio was Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager in her 2000 Senate run.
Also on Wednesday, the Teamsters Joint Council 16 announced its support.
