Carl E. Heastie
New York State Assembly Speaker

As the first black speaker of the New York State assembly, I count on Vivian Cook’s experience and hard work to help guide me in developing policies that make a real difference in the lives of the people we represent. That is why I am proud to endorse Vivian for re-election this year, because I know firsthand that her commitment to her constituents is unmatched. Experience matters, and Vivian is a uniquely effective legislator for her Queens community. I need Vivian in the State Assembly so together we can help move our state forward!
