I am writing to say enough! The relentless mailings from Empire State 32BJ PAC regarding Elaine Phillips are not only annoying, but untruthful and misleading. I have known Phillips for 23 years, since we were both working mothers waiting for the 6:24 a.m. train to NYC.
The authors of these mailings clearly do not know Elaine Phillips. She is a person of integrity and a unwavering moral compass. Phillips has worked hard for all of her many achievements and continues to work harder still for her constituents. She believes in all that is fair, just, and right. The numerous quotes, clearly taken out of context, are just plain wrong.
The phrase, Elaine Phillips is not who “we” think she is, speaks for itself. Whoever the “we” are are clearly misinformed and do not know Phillips at all. The “we” should be grateful that someone of her character is willing to give her time and energy to serve the people of this state.
Like the “do not call list,” we should have the option to opt out of false propaganda such as these mailings. Elaine, I am honored to call you my friend and truly hope you get the opportunity you deserve to lead us for many more years to come. Thank you for all that you do.
