Elections 2018

Across the country, working people showed up in significant numbers on election day to make our voices heard. And while we didn't win every race, we fought hard to make sure that as many winning candidates as possible are champions of working people.

On Nov. 6, after what may have been the most consequential election in recent U.S. history, union members across New Jersey celebrated Bob Menendez’s reelection to the U.S. Senate as well as the election of 11 labor-endorsed congressional candidates, eight state senate and assembly members and 48 rank-and-file union members.

Across the country, yesterday's elections showed that where candidates appealed to working people and championed policies that support us, working people will support those candidates. Working people provided winning margins in races across the country, sending a clear message that the pathway to winning elections in the U.S. goes through the labor movement.
