Brooklyn, NY – Joe Lazar has unified a strong coalition of elected officials in support of his bid for City Council in Brooklyn’s 44th Council District. With State Senator Diane Savino, Assemblymember Steven Cymbrowitz, Assemblymember Jim Brennan and State Senator Kevin Parker officially joining Lazar’s team today, now virtually every local elected official whose district covers the 44th Council District have joined together behind the common goal of electing Joe Lazar.

“Joe Lazar is caring, concerned and knows how to protect out city’s services,” said State Senator Diane Savino. “That’s why I am proud to endorse Joe for City Council.”
“I endorse Joe Lazar for City Council because in these difficult economic times Joe is the only candidate with the proven expertise to protect our City services and get the money to keep building our community into the future,” said Assemblymember Steven Cymbrowitz.
“Joe Lazar has the experience and know-how to protect our City’s emergency services,” said Assemblymember Jim Brennan. “As we or our family members become sick or grow older, we become dependent on government services like ambulances and emergency room. Joe understands our community’s health care needs and, more importantly, he knows what we should do in City government to make sure they will always be available when we need them.”
“Joe Lazar will be a fighter on issues involving affordable housing, job creation and health care,” said State Senator Kevin Parker. “I am confident he will continue to work tirelessly for the people of the 44th District as their next City Councilmember. That’s why I’m endorsing Joe Lazar.”
“I am honored that so many elected officials have united behind our campaign,” said Joe Lazar. “Together we are building the momentum that will carry us into City Hall.”
Am I supposed to be impressed???
wow what a big day for the lazar campaign the only problem is thats its a special election usualy there is a very low turnout so anything can happen
Great Joe! he has all the mosdos hatorah as well, he is the most qualified candidate
This seems like just more of the “Old Boys Club” of the political establishment sticking up for one of their own. I’m not sure who I’m going to vote for but I never heard of Joe Lazar before this campaign. Why does he deserve our vote, because these other guys say so.
Not so sure.
they all got it wrong.
in this unique election a single rabbi’s endorsement has more value than 100 politicians.
All the more reason to vote for greenfeld
Im confused. I thought Cymbrowitz represents the Sephardics. And Greenfield works for the Sephardic Federation. I guess Cymbrowitz is going with his heart. Way to go!!!!!!!!!
Why in heaven’s name would anyone lend any importance to the opinion of two state senators. The NY Senate is a backdrop for the lowest, and crassest, political wheeling dealing. As witness when they were deadlocked by party affiliation, and practically shut the place down. No consideration was given to any of the real issues; just the politics and the money and the power.
All that, while the state was, suffering from the effects of the great recession.
Not one person in that body came forward and behaved with integrity. Not one.
Add to that Savino’s impassioned plea for gay marriage. Why is her opinion worth a dime for a guy like Lazar. It should be the kiss of death for his election hopes.
Savino and some Rebbes (lehavdil), they eppes don’t go together.
Out with the whole bunch of NYS Senate guys. Vote out every incumbent. Start fresh with a clean slate.
