Watchdog group Citizens Union joins the NYTimes, Mario Cuomo, Rev Al, Ed Koch and your Mom in endorsing Big Bill. Just a couple of days away. Giddyapp!
The city needs an advocate who can serve as an effective counter to a strong mayor and active council, as well as work collaboratively within government to bring about needed reform. De Blasio’s strong principled stances on issues of local and citywide importance, like his leadership on the term limits battle, his willingness to fight for causes that need a champion, as well as his collaborative, inclusive, consensus-building approach in the Council reflect his ability to play such a role. Though each of the other three candidates have compelling attributes that would serve the office well, it is de Blasio’s fresh perspective, thoughtful positions, varied set of skills and broad experience that make him CU’s preferred candidate.
