Andrew Cuomo's 2025 NYC mayoral campaign gained momentum with endorsements from major unions 32BJ SEIU and the Hotel and Gaming Trades Council (HTC), which previously supported Mayor Eric Adams. These endorsements indicate a significant shift in labor support within the Democratic primary as Adams opts for an independent run. Union leaders praised Cuomo's history of supporting workers and his capacity to address pressing urban issues like housing and healthcare affordability. Their backing positions Cuomo as the frontrunner in a competitive race, amplifying his influence ahead of crucial voter decisions.
Manny Pastreich, president of 32BJ SEIU, expressed strong support for Cuomo, emphasizing his history of advocacy for workers and his commitment to core issues affecting New Yorkers.
Rich Maroko, HTC President, highlighted the significance of having a mayor familiar with labor's challenges, particularly as contract negotiations approach, underscoring Cuomo's alignment with union interests.
