NEW YORK GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO ENDORSES SHAWYN PATTERSON-HOWARD FOR MAYOR OF MOUNT VERNON

My fellow Mount Vernonites

Today, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced his endorsement of me as the Democratic nominee for mayor of Mount Vernon.

“Economic development has been a key priority of my administration, and Shawyn’s commitment to revitalizing Mount Vernon is clear and aligned with my goals for the state,” said Governor Andrew Cuomo. “She’s laid out a vision for restoring the city’s credit rating cultivating public private partnerships, and supporting local entrepreneurs that will strengthen Mount Vernon and its residents. I’m proud to endorse her as the next mayor of the great city of Mount Vernon.”

I’m honored by the Governor’s endorsement. He and I share a commitment to economic development as a means of ensuring prosperity for all. I’ve laid out a vision for or restoring the city’s credit rating cultivating public private partnerships, and supporting local entrepreneurs that I’m confident will strengthen Mount Vernon and its residents. I look forward to working with Governor Cuomo and his administration to revitalize our city and diversify our economic base.

This is the latest endorsement I have received, others include Westchester County Executive George Latimer, New York State Nurses Association, Westchester County Department Corrections Superior Officers Association, Westchester County Correction Officers Benevolent Association (Westchester County C.O.B.A.), Eleanor’s Legacy, United Black Clergy, and more.

I look forward to utilizing my relationships with local, county, state and federal partners to bolster Mount Vernon and restore trust in our city’s leadership.

Respectfully,

Shawyn Patterson-Howard
