TEAMSTERS LOCAL 237 ENDORSES CY VANCE FOR MANHATTAN DA

President Greg Floyd Says Vance Has Right Qualifications for the Office

NEW YORK, NY – On Tuesday, Cy Vance won the support of Teamsters Local 237 for Manhattan District Attorney.

Announcing the endorsement, Local 237 President Gregory Floyd said, "It's clear that Cy Vance has the experience and judgment necessary to lead such an important office. He has spent a lifetime in the courtroom, working on both sides of complex cases. Throughout his career as a trial lawyer, Cy has been an advocate for fairness and justice throughout the criminal system. We are endorsing Cy because we trust that he will look out for working families to make sure that they are safe and justice is being served.

“Our members often come into contact with the criminal justice system, as agents in schools, prisons, hospitals and public housing. It’s important to us that crime levels stay low and that our communities are safe. We believe that Cy knows how to be smart, not just tough, on crime.

“Cy shares the values of our organization – he believes that everyone should be treated equally under the law and that every single New Yorker deserves justice. He will use those values, along with his unmatched expertise, to continue the great traditions of the DA’s office.”

“I’m proud to support this union and its members, and I’m honored that they are endorsing me today,” said Cy Vance. “Local 237 represents the lifeblood of New York City. As Manhattan DA, I will work every day to ensure that they are treated with fairness and justice, that their civil rights are protected and they are safe in their homes. Thank you to Greg for your important support.”
