“These are dire times that require all New Yorkers to pay attention and fight back against the autocracy in the White House. We can do that by electing local leaders who will be part of the resistance and willing to fight back. We encourage New Yorkers to rank all of our endorsees and absolutely not rank Andrew Cuomo,” President Allen Roskoff said in a statement. “The Jim Owles Liberal Democratic Club has always been a proud voice for progressive values. We need a principled fighter in Gracie Mansion, not a disgraced former governor who resigned in shame, abused his office, faced serious accusations of corruption and created a sexually hostile work environment.”
