Dear Assemblyman Green:

On behalf of the 12,000 health care workers and nurses represented by HPAE, I am pleased to tell you that our Committee oon Political Education (COPE) has recommended your candidacy for NJ Assembly to our members. Candidates receiving this endorsement have a track record and commitment to access to quality health care, patient safety, and the rights of nurses and healthcare workers. We appreciate your support for these issues.

We will communicate that endorsement to our members, via email, phone and mail, as well as our participation in NJAFL-CIO labor walks. You may also use our name in your campaign material or media releases. We look forward to working with you in 2010 for our patients and our professions.
