Winner'08 News

Elmira, N.Y., October 1--The Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA), one of New York’s largest and most respected grassroots labor organizations, has endorsed the re-election of State Senator George Winner (R-C-I, Elmira) in the 53rd Senate District.

"On behalf of the Civil Service Employees Association, Inc., representing over 265,000 active and retired public and private sector employees across the State of New York, we are pleased to announce the CSEA endorsement of your candidacy for the New York State Senate," wrote CSEA President Danny Donohue in a letter to Winner. "This endorsement acknowledges your strong support of issues affecting the needs of all hard working men and women in your district. It is important to know that working men and women have a strong voice that will represent their interests in Albany."

CSEA represents employees of New York State and its counties, towns, villages, school districts, library systems, and other public institutions. The association also represents a growing population of private-sector members and 50,000 retirees.

The CSEA endorsement represents the third major labor organization now backing Winner's re-election. The New York State AFL-CIO, the largest state labor federation in the nation that represents 2.5 million members statewide, recently endorsed Winner. He has also received the support of the state Public Employees Federation and its 58,000 members.

"The No. 1 challenge facing New York in the foreseeable future is economic security. So I’m proud to have this recognition of my commitment to the future of the working men and women of the Southern Tier-Finger Lakes region," said Winner. "Economic security for area workers is the top priority, and I’ll keep standing up and speaking out for every effort to rebuild the upstate economy."

Winner’s 53rd Senate District encompasses all of Chemung, Schuyler, Steuben, and Yates counties, and a portion of Tompkins County (the city and town of Ithaca, and the towns of Enfield, Newfield, and Ulysses).

Winner was first elected to the State Senate in 2004 and re-elected in 2006.
