ICYMI: New York State Laborers’ Union Endorses Governor Kathy Hochul

NEW YORK – The New York State Laborers’ Union (LiUNA) endorsed Governor Kathy Hochul for a full term. LiUNA representatives applauded Governor Hochul’s advocacy on behalf of workers and her support for infrastructure projects across New York.

LiUNA New York represents over 40,000 workers in the construction industry and other fields throughout the state. LiUNA members are organized into 24 local unions and five district councils.

“I am humbled to have the hardworking members of LiUNA by my side as we build our State back better and keep our economy moving forward,” said Governor Kathy Hochul. “Growing up in a union household, I know how important it is for working families to take comfort in knowing their labor will be rewarded with fair wages, strong benefits, and safe workplace protections. Whether it’s creating good-paying clean energy jobs or rebuilding our infrastructure, I look forward to partnering with our union brothers and sisters to ensure that organized labor remains a vital part of New York’s future.”

“Under Governor Hochul, the future has never looked brighter for working New Yorkers,” said Sam Fresina, Chairman, New York State Laborers’ PAC. “The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act combined with Governor Hochul’s aggressive green energy goals create a climate where our state’s workforce will thrive, and a thriving workforce means a strong economy. It is an unprecedented moment in history that can change the trajectory of our state and positively impact all New Yorkers for generations to come. There is nobody better equipped to lead that charge than Governor Hochul.”
