Adjunct Faculty Association at Nassau Community College Endorses Joy Watson for Nassau County District Attorney

(Garden City, N.Y.) October 5, 2009—The Adjunct Faculty Association at Nassau Community College has endorsed Joy Watson of Hempstead, N.Y., for Nassau County District Attorney in the November 2009 election.

“In endorsing Joy Watson, our faculty stands with three key Nassau County labor unions: the Nassau County Detectives Association (DAI), the Hempstead Police Benevolent Association (PBA) and the Freeport Police Benevolent Association (PBA),” said AFA President Charles J. Loiacono.

Loiacono, who is also president of the Nassau County Coalition of Labor, added, “We believe she is the right person to lead the district attorney’s office. As a former prosecutor under the prior district attorney, she has served the residents of Nassau County consistently for 20 years. Her experience is vast having served as chief of Nassau County’s Sex Offense and Domestic Violence bureau, deputy bureau chief of the county’s Major Offense/Homicide bureau, and chief of the sex crimes and mental health units. In addition, she is a member of the adjunct faculty community teaching criminal justice at Molloy College. She is a great role model for our future generations.”

“We strongly believe there is no better person to lead the chief prosecution office for our county than Ms. Watson,” he said. “We ask all labor unions, educators, and students to come out and support her on November 3, 2009.”

The Adjunct Faculty Association (AFA), an independent union of adjunct professors at Nassau Community College (NCC), represents 3,214 adjunct faculty professors. The Nassau County Coalition of Labor represents all Nassau County unions.

To date, Watson has also been endorsed by the Nassau County Detectives Association, Inc. (DAI), Hempstead Police Benevolent Association (PBA), Freeport Police Benevolent Association (PBA), Fire Marshal Benevolent Association of Nassau County.
