By ALFREDO ALVARADO

THE UNION is backing Mayor Bill de Blasio in his run for re-election.

In addition, the union supports citywide incumbents New York City Public Advocate Letitia James and New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer.

For borough president, we support incumbents Eric Adams (Brooklyn), Gayle Brewer (Manhattan), Ruben Diaz Jr. (the Bronx), Melinda Katz (Queens) and James Oddo (Staten Island).

In July, the union endorsed 46 candidates for City Council seats.

“These are highly qualified candidates who’ve distinguished themselves as dedicated and accomplished leaders for our city and in our communities,” said DC 37 Executive Director Henry Garrido.

“They also share our union’s values of economic and social justice for all, as well as a commitment to continue the work of making government the force necessary to improve the lives of all New Yorkers,” Garrido said.

“We will be on the phones and on the streets engaging our members from now until primary day to ensure victory for these candidates,” Garrido added.

The New York City Democratic and Republican party primaries are on Tuesday, Sept. 12.

Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
