499 LABOR CANDIDATE VICTORIES!
Voters in several New Jersey municipalities went to the polls yesterday to elect members on non-partisan city councils. Working in partnership with the Central Labor Councils, Building Trades Councils, and affiliated unions, 4 out of 5 union members were elected, bringing the total number of rank-and-file union members elected to public office since 1997 to 499.
The New Jersey State AFL-CIO is proud of all the rank-and-file union members who seek election to public office thro ugh the Labor Candidates Program. Through each union member’s election to public office, the voice of New Jersey’s working families continues to grow stronger. Following is a list of the successful candidates.
