Tom was endorsed by chapter leaders and delegates at the UFT's Delegates Assembly (83%).

Unity held an all members vote to endorse him.

What was ABC's endorsement process like? Who decides to endorse?

"Mr. Garvey" is the pseudonym of a member of Michael Mulgrew's Unity caucus, too scared to use his real name.

Regarding the endorsement, delegates were not given a choice. When I started to propose at the delegate assembly that all delegates should hear from all candidates, Mulgrew cut my mic and shut down the discussion. Tom Brown is a nice guy, but he is fully beholden to Michael Mulgrew. We need a TRS Trustee who answers directly to rank and file UFT members.

That candidate is David Kazansky.

Step 1: Use your real name. I don't converse with anonymous trolls.

You are tying yourself in knots to avoid answering how ABC reached its decision to endorse. Last question - did ABC's DOE Chat "Top Contributors" decide in the group chat?

Not at all, the answer is easy. But I'm not answering until you have the basic decency of using your real name. I don't converse with anonymous trolls.

Aren't you already 'conversing' with an anonymous troll? Why draw the line at ABC's endorsement process or lack of...
