Postcard Party for Congressman Tom Suozzi at Nassau Women’s Democratic Caucus meeting

When you’re actively involved in elections – regardless of the political party you may support, and whether you’re a candidate, volunteer… or photographer covering them – you know activities gear up as primaries approach.

The Nassau Women’s Democratic Caucus recently reached another milestone on its long journey to New York Election Day 2026 by having its first Postcard Party.

On May 27, all tables in Nassau County HQ meeting room were filled with volunteers addressing and personalizing postcards urging Democratic Primary voters to re-elect Rep. TOM SUOZZI of Congressional District 3.

Adams stressed how she and Governor Hochul are the strongest candidates for affordability, safety, and more in New York.

Then she encouraged everyone to pitch in to help get out the vote for New York State’s Democratic ‘Governor – Lieutenant Governor’ ticket: Kathy Hochul – Adrienne Adams.

And, at the end of the meeting, many did indeed add their names to the volunteer ‘GET OUT THE VOTE’ sign-up sheets they passed in front of on their way out.

Labor unions rally for Hochul Delgado

Updated Jan. 2022: Election results added near end of post

‘When labor votes, the state wins’ – Gov. Hochul, 10/30/2022, Mineola, N.Y.

The New York governor’s race has become unexpectedly close.

Two days after early voting started in New York, and nine days before Election Day 2022, Democratic candidates and supporters – largely from labor unions – gathered for a Nassau County Rally with Governor Hochul.

The Sunday, October 30th event was held outdoors during a sunny autumn afternoon at the Local 338, RSDSU UFCW workers union site in Mineola, Long Island.

After many candidates, labor union leaders, and democratic leaders on stage spoke, it was time for Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado to speak and then introduce Gov. Kathy Hochul.

• VIDEO: Lt. Gov. Delgado speaks and then introduces Gov. Hochul:

During Lt. Gov. Delgado’s impassioned speech about WHY it’s so important to vote, and to vote for democratic candidates, particularly for Gov Hochul, the enthusiastic audience frequently punctuated his points by clapping and calling out “That’s right… “Say it again!”… “Preach!”….

The following transcript of Lt. Gov. Delgado’s speech is from the above video that starts shortly after he begins speaking at the podium.

Transcript of Lt. Gov. Antonio’s Speech (from video above):

[…Referring to some Republican candidates] “….only in it for the game. It’s all a joke. And they play with people’s lives. Like it’s a game. And it’s not.

“We have to step up as people and demand more. We just have to. We have to set the bar.
Integrity, decency, honesty.
Are you principled?
Do you care?
Do you know how to love people?
These things have to matter.
To our democracy to matter.
Education has to matter.
And labor has to matter.

“Any political leader worth their salt that can’t get behind collective bargaining and organized labor needs to not be in public service.
The story of upward mobility, the story, the American Dream.
This whole idea is based on working folk coming together and fighting for more.
To raise their families up across generations.
And you want to call yourself a leader, destroy that?
Come on now. Seriously.
We know we can do better. And guess what folks, we can and we will.

“I got to know Governor Hochul very well.
We talk about the stakes. A lot.
We don’t, we don’t spend time foolin’ around and being political about… oh about this, how..
What are we going to do?
What are the solutions?
How’re we going to govern, to the people?
Those were our conversations.

“She cares. She’s a worker.
From the ground up, not top down.
Not imposing her will, but engaging with the will of the people.
And she leads from the heart, from the heart.
Honest. Upfront. Accessible. Accountable.
The kind of things you want in a leader.
Not gonna lie to your face. Or fear monger. Or peddling hate.
You have that chance right now.

“So whatever people are saying out there.
All the head scratching, all the twitt-r feeds, and all the chaos and the noise.
Forget about it. Put it to the side.
The only thing we should be doing right now is action, not thinking.
Act.
Show up.
And vote and support an absolutely amazing governor who is dedicated to the people.
Who will fight for the people.
Who comes from the people.
Our governor – Kathy Hochul.”
