Quinn Mails for Schneiderman
July 8th, 2010

City Council Speaker Christine Quinn sent out a message in support of Sen. Eric Schneiderman’s campaign for attorney general this afternoon. Quinn highlights Schneiderman’s recent endorsement by NARAL Pro-Choice New York and Council member Tish James. Here is the message:

Dear Friend:

Over the past few weeks, the race for New Yorks next Attorney General has been heating up. In this critically important election, we need to elect an Attorney General who will work to ensure progressive justice in our state. Without question, that candidate is Eric Schneiderman.

I am supporting Eric because his commitment to the issues of importance to me, as a woman, as a member of the LGBT community, and as a New Yorker, has never wavered.

Christine Quinn

This has been quite a week for Erics campaign, with women from all across the state rallying behind his campaign. On Tuesday, Council member Tish James threw her support behind Eric, citing his superior record on womens equality. And just yesterday, NARAL Pro-Choice New York today endorsed Erics bid for Attorney General. NARAL joins the growing list of over 90 elected officials, labor unions and progressive organizations that are supporting Eric’s campaign for Attorney General.

Eric is a lifelong progressive Democrat who has been on the front lines fighting for equality for decades. He has led the fight for women’s rights in Albany, from sponsoring legislation requiring equality of medical coverage for contraception, health screenings, and infertility treatment to protecting a womans right to choose under any circumstances. Eric was a true leader in the efforts to pass marriage equality in New York, and he was the driving force behind repealing the draconian and ineffective Rockefeller Drug Laws.
July 11 marks the next major campaign finance filing deadline in this race – and Eric needs your help. If you have not yet donated to Eric this campaign cycle, please consider doing so now. If you have already given to Eric, I hope you will consider supporting him again.

With your help, we will fight for a progressive, equal and independent vision for the Attorney General’s office to deliver justice for all New Yorkers.

Best,
Christine Quinn

    Maybe Eric Schneiderman doesn’t realize it, but Quinn’s support does not work in his favor. I certainly will not vote for him .. because of his ties to Christine Quinn and her corruption. How can anyone hoping to be the next Attorney General accept support from Quinn?
