Citizens Union drops endorsement of Julia Salazar, citing 'not correct' information about her academic credentials
A good government group has withdrawn its backing of Julia Salazar for state Senate, saying the candidate provided information about her academic credentials that proved to be incorrect.
Citizens Union had previously issued its preference the term the group uses rather than endorsement for Salazar, whose campaign has been plagued in recent weeks by a series of a revelations about misrepresentations of her past religious and political beliefs and her immigration status.
Citizens Union is hereby rescinding the preference it expressed for Julia Salazar in the Democratic Primary for New York State Senate District 18, Randy Mastro, the chair of the group, said in a statement. Salazar recently admitted that the information she originally provided to Citizens Union about her academic credentials was not correct, so Citizens Union has decided to express no preference in this race.
Salazars campaign materials had implied she graduated from Columbia University, but when questioned by the New York Times, she said she had completed her coursework but never graduated.
