Morgan for Senate--DiNapoli endorsement

New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli has endorsed Austin Morgan for the 57^th district Senate seat vacated by Cathy Young earlier this year. DiNapoli said of his endorsement: “I am pleased to endorse Austin Morgan for State Senate in the 57th District. As a New York State Senator, Austin will be a tireless advocate for the residents of Western New York, putting families and the local community first.” 

Morgan said in response: "I would like to thank Comptroller DiNapoli for his endorsement.  As our state's chief fiscal officer, the Comptroller has aggressively fought public corruption, the misuse of taxpayers' dollars, fiscal gimmicks, and government inefficiency. He has strengthened one of the nation's top public pension funds, with New York's now standing at an all-time high audited value of $207.4 billion. Simply put, Tom is a man of integrity with a track record of fighting for the working class. He knows exactly what it means to put people over politics. I am humbled and proud to have his endorsement in my race to represent the taxpayers, families, retirees, and workers of WNY in the 57th Senate district.”

Morgan has been previously endorsed by Senator Tim Kennedy, the United Auto Workers, the Southwestern NY Building and Construction Trades Council, the Public Employees Federation, Run for Something, and the NYS Young Democrats Rural Caucus.
