ALBANY, N.Y. — The Northeast Regional Council of Carpenters (NRCC) has endorsement Erie County
Legislator Patrick Burke for New York State Assembly District 142 seat. Burke, a Democrat, is facing Republican challenger Erik Bohen in the April 24th special election.
“I am proud to receive the endorsement of the Northeast Regional Council of Carpenters,” said Burke. “If elected to the New York State Assembly’s 142nd District, I will continue to promote policies that help ensure the working people in our community can earn a fair wage.
