PATROLMEN’S BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION ENDORSES ASSEMBLYMAN MARK GJONAJ FOR NEW YORK CITY COUNCIL



  The New York City Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association (PBA) endorsed Assemblyman Mark Gjonaj for New York City Council in the 13th District.

“We need a City Council that is going to have NYPD officers' backs. Assemblyman Mark Gjonaj has worked hard to support police officers and to ensure the public safety in his district. Mark has consistently fought for fair pay and benefits, and appropriate equipment and training for police officers, all factors that help us keep crime at record lows. We’re proud to endorse Mark Gjonaj and we hope New Yorkers will join us in supporting his campaign for City Council,” said PBA President Patrick J. Lynch.

“I am honored and excited to have the endorsement of the PBA,” said Assemblyman Mark Gjonaj.  “Together, we have worked hard to strengthen the community-police relationships in our borough and throughout New York City. The men and women of the NYPD risk their lives to make sure our streets are safe. I was proud to be their partner in Albany and will bring that same commitment to the City Council.”

Assemblyman Mark Gjonaj is running for New York City Council in the 13th district, which includes Allerton, Bedford Park, Morris Park, Mosholu Parkway, Norwood, Pelham Gardens, Pelham Parkway and Van Nest in the Bronx.  He currently serves as the Chair of the Subcommittee on Business, and is a member of several committees: Banks, Local Governments, Real Property Taxation, Small Business, Tourism, Parks, Arts and Sports Development, and the Puerto Rican/Hispanic Task Force.

The NYC Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association is the largest labor union representing police officers of the New York City Police Department.
