Anthony
Speelman, Secretary-Treasurer of New York's largest grocery workers
union, United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1500, released the
following statement after Secretary Hillary Clinton's New York Primary
Victory:
"Congratulations to Secretary Clinton on
her primary victory in New York. Secretary Clinton has a tremendous
history of fighting for hard working New Yorkers. Our members know her
values and we were excited to help campaign for her over the past few
weeks. Whether it was knocking on doors or making calls, we are proud to
support a candidate that will unite our country. She is clearly the
most qualified candidate for President.
"Senator Bernie Sanders has run a tremendous campaign, bringing many issues facing working men and women in our country to national attention. He has inspired and engaged many amazing people throughout our country. However, now is the time for him to end his Presidential campaign.
"I urge Senator Sanders to end his bid for President of United States of America and to unite the Democratic Party. By doing so, our voices will become even stronger to fight for a better middle class, and to make sure hard working men and women aren't left behind. It is only a unified voice that can crumble the campaigns of hate and division run by the Republican Party."
