Dear New Caucus friends and colleagues,

On behalf of the Kingsborough New Caucus slate, I want to express our deep appreciation for all of the support and solidarity you offered us during our recent electoral campaign. We are very sorry to report that we lost. It was a close election with Kingsborough New Caucus winning 45% of the vote. Though of course we wish that the outcome had been different, we believe that we raised many important issues on our campus and acted with dignity and integrity despite attacks from our opponents. We want to assure you that Kingsborough New Caucus is here to stay and that we will continue to organize for progressive change on our campus and throughout CUNY.

Please know that we are deeply grateful to so many of you — for your words of wisdom, your acts of solidarity, and your political support. We know that the best way to repay you is to keep working hard in pursuit of our common goals.

With gratitude and solidarity, on behalf of the Kingsborough New Caucus slate,

Emily Schnee
