Binghamton, NY -- The Greater Capital Region Building and Construction Trades Council, representing thousands of tradesmen, has endorsed Congressman Marc Molinaro for reelection in New York's 19th Congressional District.
Molinaro now has 36 total endorsements from union organizations and is endorsed by all building and construction trades councils in New York's 19th Congressional District, including Binghamton-Oneonta, Tompkins-Cortland, and the Hudson Valley.
Michael Lyons, President of the Greater Capital Region Building Trades Council said, "Based on Marc Molinaro's support for the Building Trades and the need for a strong community, the Greater Capital Region Building and Construction Trades Council is pleased to endorse him. We will promote his candidacy to our members and encourage members and their families to become directly involved in Marc's campaign."
Congressman Molinaro said, "I'm incredibly honored to have the support of the Greater Capital Region Building Trades Council and all the building trades councils in NY-19, which make up thousands of workers. Together, we're going to keep fighting for fair compensation, strong job protections, and secure retirements."
According to the NY Post, Congressman Molinaro is a 'favorite' among some of the biggest unions in New York State. In Congress, he has supported the Tax Fairness for Workers Act, which delivers a tax deduction for union dues and expenses, supported the National Apprenticeship Act to create nearly one million new apprenticeship openings, and voted against legislation that would have undermined Davis-Bacon and Project Labor Agreements.
Congressman Molinaro was elected in November 2022 to represent New York’s 19th Congressional District. The new district includes Broome, Chenango, Columbia, Delaware, Greene, Otsego, Sullivan, and Tompkins counties as well as part of Cortland, Rensselaer, and Ulster counties. In Congress, he has been recognized by the nonpartisan Lugar Center as the 2nd most bipartisan and by the Congressional Research Service as the fourth most productive.
