The International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers (SMART) has endorsed businessman Joe Salerno for the Democratic nomination for Congress in New Jersey’s second district.
Salerno is one of four Democrats seeking to take on Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-Dennis) in the general election.
“Joe’s focus on job creation, fair wages, a stronger infrastructure, and affordable healthcare reflects the priorities of our members'” said Stephen Dodd, the SMART director of governmental affairs. “He has what it takes to bring about the change in leadership we need.”
Salerno said he was “pleased that SMART sees what’s at stake.”
“They recognize the need to go to work on behalf of South Jersey families instead of sitting back like our current representative, waiting to be told what to think and what to do by Donald Trump,” he said.
