    COMMITTEE TO ELECT JEFFRION L.

    AUBRY RELEASES STATEMENT


    RE: NY UPRISING

    Monday, September 13, 2010 – QUEENS, NY – The Committee to Elect Jeffrion L. Aubry
    released the following statement regarding Mayor Ed Koch’s endorsement of the assemblyman’s
    opponent. Campaign spokeswoman, Lupé Todd, said:
    “It is regrettable that Mayor Koch chose to endorse Assemblyman Aubry’s opponent. NY
    Uprising champions campaign, ethics, and finance reform. However, this so-called hero of
    reform was already violating the spirit and commitment to the pledge before the ink was dry by
    using his non-profit, 501c4 organization to raise funds for his campaign
    (http://www.cityhallnews.com/newyork/article-1536-miranda-non-profit-website-used-to-
    promote-miranda-campaign.html).
    “Furthermore, Assemblyman Aubry's opponent has disseminated inaccurate flyers in the district
    that mischaracterize reform of the Rockefeller drug laws as benefiting drug dealers. This
    intentional distortion is inflammatory and divisive and is disrespectful to the countless former
    substance abusers, and their families that have been saved by receiving drug treatment instead of
    incarceration as a result of Rockefeller reform (see attached flyer).
    “These Republican-style tactics reflect the willingness of our opponent to resort to the old style
    of deceptive and fear politics that do not serve the public’s interest.
    “It is clear that Assemblyman Aubry's opponent will say or do anything for political advantage,
    including signing a pledge that he clearly has no intention of honoring.
    “Assemblyman Aubry did not need a pledge to sponsor legislation to repeal the draconian
    Rockefeller drug laws, support the accurate enumeration of prisoners for the purpose of
    redistricting, or back the disclosure of legislators’ outside income.
    “From 2001 through 2008, Assemblyman Aubry was the prime sponsor of Mayor Koch’s
    initiative, the Second Chance Act. This legislation would have allowed non-violent drug abusers
    to have their records sealed after successful completion of treatment to help them re-integrate in
    to society. While the measure did not pass in the senate, Assemblyman Aubry honored his
    commitment to Mayor Koch and elements of the Second Chance Act were incorporated in to
    recently enacted Rockefeller reform.
    “Assemblyman Aubry’s word was good enough for Mayor Koch before; it should be equally
    sufficient today.”
