NYC ELECTIONS: PSC ENDORSEMENTS
AND PRIMARY RESULTS -- 2009

PSC ENDORSEMENTS AND ELECTION RESULTS

PSC-PAC Overview | PSC Endorsements & Primary Results |
Mayor | Comptroller | Public Advocate
City Council | Borough President

The PSC endorsed 53 candidates in the general election on November 3rd.  All but eight won.  One of those who lost, Bill Thompson, was defeated by 50,000 votes in a mayoral race in which polls predicted a landslide victory for Michael Bloomberg.

The union endorsed a strong slate of candidates who are friends of CUNY.  Victorious Candidates for city-wide office, Bill de Blasio (Public Advocate) and John Liu (Comptroller), completed PSC questionnaires indicating vigorous support for CUNY -- as did many of the endorsed City Council candidates.

We look forward to working with all our endorsed candidates, and the Mayor, to assure that CUNY receives the funding and support it needs. 

Particular thanks go to the our members and the PSC's Legislative Committee who worked for the election of PSC endorsed candidates
