32BJ SEIU, the largest property service workers union in the country with over 185,000 members, has thrown its full support behind Frank Jereis in the race for the New York State Assembly, delivering a major boost to a campaign that continues to gain strength across the district.
The endorsement from 32BJ SEIU, a progressive union powerhouse representing building service workers across the East Coast, marks a decisive moment in the race for State Assembly in Yonkers. Known for its disciplined ground operation and ability to mobilize voters at scale, the union’s backing is widely viewed as a game-changing development.
Jereis has steadily built a coalition rooted in working families, public safety advocates, and organized labor. His campaign has focused on lowering costs, strengthening neighborhoods, and ensuring that economic opportunity reaches every corner of the community. The support from 32BJ reinforces his message and further highlights what supporters see as a clear and results-driven vision to deliver for working families.
Labor endorsements often serve as a bellwether in Democratic primaries, and 32BJ’s decision signals strong confidence in Jereis’s ability to lead and produce tangible results. His campaign has emphasized practical solutions and a forward-looking agenda aimed at improving quality of life for residents across the district.
With a reputation for turning out voters and executing robust field campaigns, 32BJ SEIU is expected to play a pivotal role in the weeks ahead. As the race intensifies, Jereis now stands with one of the most influential labor organizations in New York behind him, further solidifying his position as the leading contender for the Assembly seat.
Since launching his campaign, Jereis has built an impressive coalition of support, including County Executive Ken Jenkins; Mayor Mike Spano; State Senator Shelley Mayer; Assemblymember Nader Sayegh; Legislators Jose Alvarado, Shanae Williams, and David Tubiolo; AFSCME Local 1897; local Police, Firefighter, and Teamsters unions; and the unanimous support from the Yonkers Democratic Committee.
