Tedra Cobb earns endorsement from state comptroller, New York State Nurses Association

Posted

CANTON—Tedra Cobb, Democratic candidate for the North Country’s 21st Congressional District, has announced that her campaign has earned the endorsement of New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, and of The New York State Nurses Association.

“I have had the pleasure of getting to know Tedra over the course of the last year and am proud to endorse her campaign for Congress” DiNapoli said. “Tedra is committed, as I am, to a more ethical, transparent and productive form of governance. I know that Tedra will bring New York values to Washington and her efforts will reflect the needs of the people in the North Country.”

“I appreciate the Comptroller's endorsement of my campaign,” said Cobb. “His record reflects his commitment to protect the people’s money and keep government accountable. Comptroller DiNapoli and I share these values and I know that the voters in Northern New York share them too. It is a great honor to receive this endorsement.”

With a membership of 42,000 nurses, the New York State Nurses Association is New York's largest union and professional association for registered nurses. The Cobb campaign says it is encouraged by the momentum building behind the campaign by professional groups.

“Healthcare is a right, not a privilege – and it is that saying, in part, that drives Tedra Cobb in her run for Congress and that’s why NYSNA proudly endorses Tedra in the North Country for the 21st Congressional District,” said Tara L Martin, NYSNA State Political Director. “Tedra will not let her constituents down like the incumbent has done over and over. Tedra has always fought for healthcare for all – and has run a healthcare initiative where she fought for those who don’t have insurance. Tedra Cobb is who we need in Washington.”
