WFP Endorses Johnson In SSD-07 Special Election

The Working Families Party today endorsed Nassau County Legislator Craig Johnson (D-Port Washington) in the race to replace outgoing state Senator and new state Homeland Security chief Michael Balboni.

From the Working Families Party blog:

The Working Families Party is proud to endorse Nassau County Legislator Craig Johnson for State Senate in the 7th Senate District special election on February 6th.

After interviewing both Craig Johnson and Maureen O'Connell, Nassau WFP Chapter members voted overwhelmingly to endorse Craig Johnson. Larry DeAngelis, co-chair of the Working Families Nassau Chapter, had this to say:

"Working families in Nassau County need Craig Johnson in the State Senate to reform Albany, reduce property taxes for working and middle-class families and address pressing needs like better schools and affordable housing. In every election, we interview the candidates and evaluate their positions on the issues that matter most to working families. In this race, we're convinced that Craig Johnson is the best candidate for working families on Long Island."

The Working Families Party will send over 50 organizers into the field to knock on the doors of likely voters every night from now until February 6. Lisa Tyson, another leader of the Working Families Nassau County chapter, lays down the challenge:

 

"We're going all out for Craig Johnson in the field, where this campaign will be won."

The TU Capitol Confidential blog reported that 1199 endorsed O'Connell.  I believe Bob Masters of Working Families also said his union, CWA, is endorsing Johnson as well.
