His unwavering support, independent leadership and straightforward approach to the challenges facing our City and State are needed today and for years to come.”

“I want to thank the leadership and the membership of DC 37 for their strong endorsement,” Padavan said. “I am honored to once again have the backing of the hardworking men and women who provide countless services that New Yorkers rely upon. I look forward to continuing to work with DC 37 into the future to build a stronger New York and provide the very best services for the City’s families, children and seniors.”
