“#Teamsters endorse Scott Stringer for mayor, reject allegations<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Embattled mayoral candidate and city Comptroller Scott Stringer won the endorsement of Teamsters Local 237 on Monday after its leader dismissed his accuser\u2019s sexual misconduct claims.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t believe her story. I really don\u2019t,\u201d Teamsters Local 237 president Gregory Floyd told The Post, referring to ex-Stringer campaign aide Jean Kim.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know Scott a long time. I knew his mother before I knew him. That\u2019s just not his behavior\u2026 I question the timing. The same day he puts out his first campaign ad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teamsters Local 237 represents 24,000 city government employees \u2014 including school safety agents, security officers in public hospitals and homeless shelters and workers in New York City Housing Authority complexes.<\/p>\n

Floyd told Stringer that he still had his unions\u2019 support late last week \u2014 while an avalanche of progressive lawmakers and the Working Family Party rescinded their endorsements, following the bombshell groping accusations leveled against the current comptroller by Kim.<\/p>\n

Stringer vowed to remain in the race despite the eroding support. <\/p>\n

Kim, 49, accused Stringer of repeatedly sexually harassing her during his failed 2001 campaign for public advocate \u2014 including asking her, \u201cWhy won\u2019t you f\u2013k me!\u201d<\/p>\n

Stringer denied the allegations, claiming they had a consensual relationship.<\/p>\n

A top issue for Teamsters Local 237 is blocking the city\u2019s decision to transfer school safety agents from the supervision of the NYPD to the Department of Education.<\/p>\n

Floyd said Stringer promised to revisit the issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know Scott, and we trust Scott, because throughout his time in public service, he has always stuck by his values. Scott will deliver a recovery and a city that puts working people first, and we\u2019re proud to support him to be New York City\u2019s next mayor,\u201d Floyd said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Stringer was thrilled to have some good news<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so proud to have the support of a group of New Yorkers who, throughout the pandemic, made the difficult decision to constantly put other people ahead of themselves. When many of us were staying home, they went to work \u2014 taking care of our school buildings, our public hospitals, and our NYCHA campuses without ever asking for special treatment,\u201d Stringer said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank Greg Floyd for his leadership and partnership, and I look forward to working with the members of Local 237 to win this race and deliver for New Yorkers.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
