Dear Senator Dilan:

We are pleased to inform you that the New York State AFL-CIO has endorsed your

needs of all working men and women throughout the State of New York.

The social and economic problems facing our state and nation require strong leadership
on the part of our elected representatives. We are confident you will demonstrate such ability.
We offer you best wishes in your campaign and the support of the members of the New York
State AFL-CIO in your district.

Please contact Suzy Ballantyne, Assistant to the President for Governmental Affairs, at
