New Jersey labor organization touts endorsement of Republicans in 24th District
The four unions that contributed to the re-election campaign of Republican Sen. Steve Oroho were silent as to their reasons last month.
Now, an endorsement from a 108-year-old state trade organization sheds light on reasons for their financial support.
The New Jersey State Building and Construction Trades Council on Friday endorsed Oroho and his Republican partners in the 24th Legislative District, Assemblywoman Alison Littell McHose and Assemblyman Gary Chiusano, for re-election.
The council is comprised of 125 local unions, 15 affiliated international unions and 13 county councils.
“Our member-unions have unanimously endorsed a strong roster of legislative candidates who have demonstrated an understanding of labor’s needs and a willingness to work with us in reforming fiscal policies and enacting a pro-worker agenda for New Jersey,” William Mullen, president of the council, said in a statement.
