Coalition of 150 NYC faith leaders endorses Andrew Cuomo for mayor

Independent mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo was endorsed Saturday by the United Clergy Coalition, an alliance of faith leaders representing more than 150 congregations from across New York City.

Coalition members cited Cuomo’s previous leadership as New York State governor, his detailed plans to “rebuild trust” between communities and law enforcement, his plan to expand access to affordable housing, and his support for neighborhood-based economic development as key factors in their decision to back him.

“Grateful to have the endorsement of the United Clergy Coalition — representing more than 150 congregations across NYC. Faith leaders have always been at the heart of our city’s progress. Together, we’ll build a safer, fairer and more hopeful New York for all,” Cuomo said on X.

“We stand with Governor Andrew Cuomo because of his proven experience, steady leadership during times of crisis, and wisdom in guiding our city and state through challenging moments,” said Bishop Gerald Seabrooks of Rehoboth Cathedral in Brooklyn, the president of the United Clergy Coalition.

This Muslim's views are probably closer to the actual teachings of Jesus Christ than these so called "faith leaders."
