The CAP also voted to endorse former Local 2325 member and public defender Eli Northrup for District 69 on the Upper West Side, New York State Nurses’ Association member and current Assemblymember Phara Souffrant Forrest for District 57 in central Brooklyn, and immigrants’ rights advocate and union staffer Diana Moreno for District 36 in Queens.

“UAW Region 9A is proud to endorse Eli Northrup, a public defender and one of our former members, who has always stood by working class New Yorkers in the fight for a better, more just legal system,” said Jane Fox, chair of UAW’s New York City CAP Council and the Legal Aid Society attorney unit of UAW Local 2325. “Albany needs real people who have been on the ground pushing change and that's Eli. We know he will continue to push for affordability and advance a powerful pro-labor agenda in Albany.”

“As a working class champion and former NYSNA nurse, Phara has stood with our members on picket lines and in the halls of power,” said Brandon Mancilla, UAW Region 9A Director. “From working together on helping workers reclaim their time off the job, to standing up to powerful corporate interests, we know we can count on Phara. We are proud to endorse her for re-election today.”

“NICE Union is proud that UAW Region 9A has followed the lead of our unit to endorse Diana Moreno and are excited to partner with her in office to support immigrant workers and all workers together,” said Nadya Lucero, chair of the New Immigrant Community Empowerment (NICE) Union, part of UAW Local 2325.
