Ellen Young Endorsed By State Senator John Liu

Flushing, Queens – On Thursday, 20th District City Council Candidate Ellen Young was endorsed by former 20th District City Councilmember and current State Senator John Liu.

Ellen and Senator Liu’s relationship goes back decades to when she served in his office while he was the Council Member for the district she is now running to represent. Over the years, Ellen Young and Senator Liu have worked together on the issues of senior services, public safety, and small business assistance to bring much needed resources to the community they have spent their lives serving.

Senator Liu, as the first Asian American City Councilmember, City Comptroller, and NYS State Senator, and Ellen Young, as the first Asian American woman elected to the NYS Legislature and the first female Asian American NYPD Auxiliary police officer in Queens have a shared history of breaking barriers for Asian American representation in New York City and State. They are both deeply experienced legislators at all levels of government and will work closely together to advocate for the communities they represent.

State Senator John Liu said, “Ellen Young has the experience and dedication we need right now on the City Council. Ellen has spent her entire career in public service fighting for seniors, children, women and Queens families. From championing affordable healthcare and housing to working with first responders to improve our health and safety, Ellen is the champion for Queens that we need. That’s why I am supporting her for the City Council.”

Democratic City Council candidate and former Assembly Member Ellen Young said, “I am truly grateful to have State Senator John Liu’s endorsement. Senator Liu has always been a fierce advocate for our community, fighting for students, small business owners, seniors and is always working to make Queens a better place for all of us. I am incredibly excited and proud to have the Senator’s support and I look forward to once again working with him, hand-in-hand, to deliver for Queens families and taxpayers.”
