Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo will score a key endorsement Saturday from Local 3 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, his first union backing for the general election in NYC’s mayoral race.
Cuomo was expected to announce the endorsement by the powerful 29,000-member union at the annual Labor Day Parade in Manhattan.
The ex-governor had scored the union’s endorsement in the Democratic primary, where Cuomo was upset by socialist Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani.
The governor expects other unions on the fence in the general election “soon to follow,” one Cuomo operative boasted to The Post.
“While a lot of unions were quick to jump ship out of political weakness, there are a lot more who are absolutely not interested in getting in bed with a socialist,” the source said.
