Albany, NY - The New York State AFL-CIO, representing 2.5 million union members, retirees, and their families today announced the endorsement of Tom Suozzi in the 3rd Congressional District special election being held on February 13, 2024.
“We need someone in Washington who will create more union jobs, fight for fair wages and a better quality of life for all New Yorkers while fighting back against the ‘right to work’ movement and Tom Suozzi has a proven record of doing just that,” said Mario Cilento, president of the New York State AFL-CIO.
“When Tom served in the House of Representatives, he had a 94% lifetime voting record supporting workers and spearheaded the labor caucus, proving himself a fierce advocate for working people. He is exactly who we need representing us," Cilento said.
“I have enjoyed a long and warm relationship with the labor unions, and I am grateful for the support and endorsement of the New York State AFL-CIO," said Tom Suozzi. "This will be a tough race, and the support of these hard-working men and women means a great deal to me. I am excited to take back this seat and look forward to promoting the American Dream, as exemplified by the New York State AFL-CIO. Let’s fix this!”
The Union Movement will be coordinating with the 154,000 union members, retirees, and their families who live in the 3rd Congressional District to ensure a victory for Tom Suozzi.
