PBA ENDORSES BETSY GOTBAUM
FOR REELECTION AS PUBLIC ADVOCATE
Patrick J. Lynch, president of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent
Association of the City of New York said: “This past Monday
I was proud to stand on the steps of City Hall with many fellow
union leaders, prominent elected officials and community leaders
of the city to endorse Betsy Gotbaum’s reelection as the city’s
Public Advocate. Betsy has a long history of supporting New York’s
police officers and was instrumental as the Executive Director of
the NYC Police Foundation in securing bullet resistant vests for
every member of the NYPD. As Public Advocate she successfully fought
the waste of taxpayers dollars on an unwanted and unneeded Westside
football stadium and she introduced legislation to increase penalties
for criminals posing as police officers. Betsy Gotbaum has the best
interest of New York City and its police officers at heart and the
PBA is proud to endorse her for reelection as Public Advocate.
