Frank Proscia, M.D., President of Doctors Council SEIU, issued the following statement regarding the choices of endorsements this primary season: “We believe in quality, affordable, and safe health care as a basic human right and social good, achieved and accessible by all, regardless of insurance, economic status, ability to pay, race, ethnicity, citizenship or residency status, language spoken, or diagnosis. Our members know the importance of doctors’ having a voice in politics, policy and legislation, especially with elected leaders. Endorsements are part of this vital work for our members, those we care for and the communities we serve. This year, we collectively feel that our endorsements are especially important - we have seen the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic over the last year and how this has impacted the patients we care for and the communities we serve. Our dedicated members put their lives on the line during the COVID-19 pandemic and continue to do so, often leaving their families behind to care for the most vulnerable and sick patients and to manage and respond to this disease.

  • New York Update
    New York Update Wednesday, June 23, 2021 New York City New York City government is in the middle of its greatest transformation in decades as the Mayor, Comptroller, 4 Borough Presidents, and dozens of City Councilmembers are forced from office due to term limits. With a generous system of matching funds for qualified candidates, reduced petition requirements due to COVID, and changes to the electoral system, this Primary brought new voices into the political process in nearly every corner of the city. Primaries in New York are open to all voters registered in that party. Voters can participate either by voting in-person or by absentee ballot. Due to COVID, absentee ballots were made far more accessible this year. In-person voting began with ten days of early voting that started June 12th and ran through June 20th. In-person voting concluded yesterday at 9pm. Now that all in-person votes have been cast, the New York City Board of Elections will next conduct a formal canvass of results from every Election District (election night numbers are always unofficial in New York). The board will also begin validating affidavit ballots (those cast in person by voters who did not appear to be eligible). Finally, the board will review absentee ballots for defects and allow voters to cure certain deficiencies, such as failing to sign the outside envelope. Within the next few weeks, all eligible absentee and affidavit ballots will be counted, and the formal canvass of election night results will be completed. Before absentee ballots are counted, more than 800,000 New Yorkers voted in the Democratic Primary.
