Toby Ann Stavisky Endorsed By Good Government Group

QUEENS – A good government group, focused on improving city and state office conducts, endorsed Queens’ Toby Ann Stavisky for State Senate.

Stavisky is running for the Senate District 11 seat, which encompasses Little Neck, College Point, Rikers Island, and others.

Citizens Union announced Wednesday that Stavisky’s endorsement was based on her alignment with the group’s reform agenda, her ability to advance their agenda once in office, as well as wage an effective and competitive campaign, and her knowledge of the needs of their constituents.

“Voters should take this opportunity to know who is running to represent them, and where candidates stand on important reform issues. “Citizens Union is proud to support a few key legislative candidates in Brooklyn and Queens who are deeply committed to advancing a strong reform agenda in Albany,” said Betsy Gotbaum, executive director of Citizens Union.

Support also went to Mathylde Frontus for Assembly District 46 in Brooklyn and Iwen Chu for Senate District 17 in Brooklyn.

Stavisky has represented Queens in the state senate since 1999 and she serves as Vice Chairwoman of the Democratic Majority Conference and chair of the Committee on Higher Education.
