1199SEIU Members Against A Cuomo Endorsement

1199SEIU President Yvonne Armstrong, Secretary Treasurer Veronica Turner-Biggs and Executive Council

We, the undersigned members of 1199SEIU-United Healthcare Workers East, call upon our newly-elected union leadership to rescind our union’s rushed and undemocratic endorsement of Andrew Cuomo for mayor of our city.

As healthcare workers and New Yorkers, we need a mayor who will reduce the crushing cost of living, make our rents more affordable, defend the public healthcare funding we rely on, and protect our communities from Trump’s attacks.

As governor, Cuomo used his power to defund healthcare, betray workers, and silence women—standing against every principle we hold dear as a union of caregivers. As a mayoral candidate, Cuomo is being funded by pro-Trump billionaires, real estate, and big business lobbyistsrepresenting the same powerful interests making our city impossible to afford while taking away our rights, attacking unions, and planning cuts to Medicare and Medicaid in Washington, DC.

It should come as no surprise that Cuomo has softened his stance on Trump and embraced his donors now that Cuomo is under investigation by the DOJ for lying to Congress about his handling of New York’s nursing homes during the pandemic, when he forced nursing homes to accept COVID-positive patients and underreported deaths by as much as 83%, according to a report by New York's Attorney General. Cuomo caused the deaths of at least 15,000 of our residents and coworkers, but we may never know the real number since he covered up the facts.

Despite every danger that Cuomo represents, outgoing 1199SEIU leadership still endorsed him, a disgraced politician and longtime personal ally, during their last days in union office. To satisfy their final wishes, former leadership cited rushed and misleading polling conducted in early 2025—before many of us were informed about the candidates. The poll, based largely on candidate name recognition, refrained from educating members on Cuomo’s record and platform, or helping members identify which candidates most align with our core policy concerns like housing, affordability, and protecting our city from Trump’s policies.

We the members, not a small circle, should drive our union’s political endorsement process—particularly when our union has been under immense public scrutiny. Political decisions need no longer be made behind closed doors but, like other New York City-based unions, in public forums open to all members where we can participate, learn candidates’ platforms, and ask tough questions of those who seek our support. Finally, when our union's political power has been on the decline, endorsing a candidate whom we previously called on to resign is not the way to reverse course.

Our newly-elected leaders—President Yvonne Armstrong and Secretary Treasurer Veronica Turner-Biggs—now have an opportunity to follow through on their bold vision for leadership by setting a new precedent for how our union conducts its political process, defined by integrity, transparency, and real member participation.

Thus, we call upon our newly-elected 1199SEIU leaders and Executive Council to:

  1. Rescind our endorsement of Andrew Cuomo for mayor.
  2. Invite all Democratic mayoral candidates to a town hall open to all rank-and-file 1199SEIU members ahead of the June 24th Democratic primary: an opportunity to learn how candidates will uplift our priorities, strengthen our city, and support our union.
  3. Conduct a "policy-first" survey open to all NYC members ahead of a ranked-choice endorsement. An educational survey should help members learn how much each candidate’s platform aligns with their personal policy concerns, first. The survey should allow members to rank their candidates 1-5, and its results should be made publicly-available. Endorsements should be based on policy, not name recognition or personal favors.

Cuomo is funded by the same people who are gutting our social safety nets. He isn’t fit to lead NY. 1199 needs to endorse a candidate who has the support of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and the UAW and that candidate is Zohran Mamdani.

How can a union for healthcare workers endorse a candidate who put the elderly and already ill in nursing homes at risk during the COVID pandemic and then intentionally minimized the number of deaths that resulted? How can a union that supports women endorse a candidate who has been credibly accused of sexual harassment?

An endorsement for Andrew Cuomo does not represent the majority of how 1199 membership feels. His past behavior in leadership positions has been nothing less than despicable. Sexual harassment allegations, nursing home death coverups, failure to address the COVID-19 pandemic: these are Cuomo’s legacy. Is that really what we want to endorse?


Listen to the rank-and-file members of 1199 and conduct a member-led, ranked-choice mayoral endorsement process.

I was so incredibly disappointed when I heard that 1199 had endorsed Cuomo, a candidate who sexually harassed women and lied about COVID deaths. I am a former DC37 member and was so impressed with the way they threw their support behind progressive, pro-labor candidates like Zohran Mamadani and Brad Lander. Please, 1199, listen to your membership and rescind the rushed and undemocratic decision to endorse Cuomo.

Because of this man, I did not get to spend enough time with my mother before she passed away at a nursing home.

Andrew Cuomo represents the type of politicians that we need to be phasing out. In 2025, we need to be standing in support of young politicians with the people's best interest in mind, not a redemption story for old time politics. There are so many young, ambitious politic figures seeking backing. Our union would send a message by endorsing one of them over Cuomo.

I think it's time for a bold move by the new leadership of our union. I believe that our union should endorse Zohran Mamdani for Mayor. Cuomo takes money from the same corporate donors Trump does. This in unacceptable. Our democracy is on the line and our city sets the example for the rest of the nation. It would be an incredible move for our new leadership to continue changing history and support Zohran Mamdani for Mayor.

I do not endorse Cuomo! He is not a person of integrity and I am embarrassed that my Union endorsed him. Pick a better candidate that cares about everyday New Yorkers. After watching th debate, my first choice is Zohran Mamdani. He clearly cares about New Yorkers and doing what is right for all of us. We do not need someone that is taking money from AIPAC and will eventually bend the knee to Trump! Please change your endorsement.

I am horrified that 1199 has backed Andrew Cuomo. I do not support this action and will not be ranking him.

Cuomo was a disaster for the state of New York and would be a devastating Mayor for New York City. We need leadership that fights for and prioritizes the working people of New York. It is imperative to rescind the endorsement of Cuomo.

According to Cuomo’s public statement and actions, he does not seem to be aligned all with the goals and values of 1199 and its members. For that reason, I was very confused by our endorsement of him. Please rescind your endorsement.

I strongly disagree with much of Andrew Cuomo's platform, and he showed us during COVID that he cannot be trusted in a crisis. His betrayal of healthcare workers during COVID should not be so easily shrugged off, especially while he is still under investigation by the DOJ.
