DC 37, NYC's largest municipal union, endorses Adrienne Adams (D) as top pick for mayor

DC 37, New York City’s largest municipal union, is endorsing City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams as its top pick for mayor, giving her a big boost as her campaign has struggled to gain momentum since she launched her run last month.

The powerful union, which represents about 150,000 active city workers and nearly 90,000 retirees, is also urging members to rank Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani No. 2 and Brooklyn state Sen. Zellnor Myrie No. 3 on their Democratic mayoral primary ballots in June.

“We’re proud to endorse these pro-worker candidates in the June primary and look forward to getting out the vote in support of their campaigns,” DC 37 Executive Director Henry Garrido said in a statement late Tuesday. “At a time when workers’ rights are being ripped apart at the federal level, it’s more important than ever to elect local candidates who will fight for working families and the services we all rely on.”

The speaker’s campaign didn’t immediately return a request for comment. Garrido and other DC 37 leaders were expected to elaborate on the endorsements at a news conference Wednesday.
