Binghamton, NY -- The Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA-NY) has endorsed Congressman Marc Molinaro for reelection in New York's 19th Congressional District.
LIUNA-NY is a collaboration of the New York State Laborers' PAC and the Mason Tenders' District Council, representing over 40,000 members in the construction industry and other fields throughout New York State. LIUNA-NY's endorsements cross party lines. Recently they announced they will back Joe Biden for President.
Vincent Albanese, Executive Director for the New York State Laborers’ PAC said, “LIUNA-NY is proud to endorse Congressman Marc Molinaro for re-election. Congressman Molinaro has a demonstrated track record of supporting policies and legislation that advance LIUNA, bolster the unionized construction industry, strengthen safety standards on the job and encourage local hiring.”
Congressman Molinaro said, "I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of LIUNA-NY. I'm staying in this fight to protect union rights, retirements, and the paychecks of hardworking union families."
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.
