Pennsylvania AFL-CIO Endorsements in November General Election

HARRISBURG, Pa., June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Pennsylvania AFL-CIO President Rick Bloomingdale and Secretary-Treasurer Frank Snyder today re-affirmed the endorsement of President Barack Obama, and Vice President Joe Biden by the AFL-CIO in March of this year and the endorsement today of  U.S. Senator Robert P. Casey for re-election in November. They also announced the endorsements for statewide row offices and for candidates running for the U.S. House of Representatives, the Pennsylvania State Senate, and the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.

"Every one of these candidates, from the top of the ticket to the bottom of the ticket, are very strong supporters of working men, women, and their families," Pennsylvania AFL-CIO President Rick Bloomingdale said.  "They have stood with us on the issues that will further grow our economy and expand our middle class, including:  protecting and creating good jobs; collective bargaining rights; public education; community services and retirement security," Bloomingdale added. 

"They share our values and our vision for jobs, progress, shared sacrifice, and respect for the value of work and for working families. This election is our opportunity to keep moving forward, toward economic recovery and an economy that works for all not just the few," Bloomingdale concluded.  

"We take our endorsements very seriously," Secretary-Treasurer Frank Snyder added. "They are based on the voting records and the positions of the candidates on the issues involving good public policy, not political parties. These candidates have earned our support by standing with us and our unions in meeting the most difficult economic challenges and attacks we have faced in decades," Snyder said.  

"It's now boots on the ground as we travel the Commonwealth supporting the full slate, and the fact that the road to the White House goes through Pennsylvania," Bloomingdale concluded. The Pennsylvania AFL-CIO is the largest labor organization in the state, representing over 800,000 union workers and their families.
