The New Jersey State AFL-CIO, which represents over one million union members and their families, today endorsed Democrat Mikie Sherrill for governor.
“Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill has always stood shoulder-to-shoulder with New Jersey’s working people,” said Charles Wowkanech, President of the New Jersey State AFL-CIO. “She understands the dignity of work, the importance of strong unions, and the role that labor plays in building a fair economy. As our next Governor, she’ll fight for quality and accessible health care for every family, for great public schools for every kid, and to make New Jersey more affordable for everyone.”
The vote was unanimous and came from over 500 delegates.
The union umbrella organization cited Sherrill’s “100% voting record with labor.”
With a 100% voting record with labor, Mikie has fought for us in Washington, and we are proud to fight for her now. She’s the leader New Jersey’s labor movement trusts to champion workers’ rights and deliver for all our families.”
Sherrill, the granddaughter of a union member, faces Republican Jack Ciattarelli in the general election after winning last week’s Democratic primary by a wide margin.
