Tammy Murphy has picked up the support of the New Jersey State Electrical Workers Association Construction Division of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in her bid for a seat in the U.S. Senate.
“Tammy is the most pro-union candidate in this race and has consistently stood up for the values and priorities of our women, men, and hardworking families,” said the union president, former Assemblyman Joseph Egan (D-New Brunswick). “Tammy has been an ardent advocate for including union labor in New Jersey’s booming clean energy economy and growing film industry.”
Murphy’s main opponent in the Democratic Senate primary, Rep. Andy Kim (D-Moorestown), had won endorsements from the New Jersey AFL-CIO and the New Jersey State Building & Construction Trades Council – Egan is a board member of that group – in his 2020 and 2022 congressional runs.
“We are confident that she will be a steadfast ally for worker’s rights, fair wages, safe working conditions, and good benefits,” Egan said. “Tammy will be a leader in the fight for New Jersey’s working families and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers proudly endorse her for U.S. Senate.”
Murphy has been endorsed by the Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters, the Sheet Metal Workers Local 25, the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades District Council 21, and the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental, and Reinforcing Iron Workers.
