City Council Candidates Receive NYCLASS Backing for Their Stances on Animal Issues

(New York, NY) – Today, NYCLASS announced its first round of endorsements in Staten Island City Council races. This is the animal rights organization’s sixth public statement regarding their support of City Council candidates.

“NYCLASS is fired up to throw our weight behind these three candidates for City Council in Queens,” Allie Feldman, Executive Director of NYCLASS said. “They are committed to supporting NYCLASS in our efforts to build animal shelters for the four-legged constituents in our community. In the City Council, they will advocate for the safety of animals and all New Yorkers by providing homes for those abandoned animals who wander the streets without refuge. These candidates can be sure that we will have their back throughout the campaign, and we are thrilled to begin working with him to secure a healthy environment for our City.”
