32BJ SEIU, the largest property services union in the country, has endorsed candidates in the New Jersey Assembly and multiple municipalities. Sixty-one endorsements were made public today.

“Our members make up the backbone of the working class in New Jersey. They clean, secure, protect and maintain our buildings, airports, and transit hubs. The candidates we are endorsing reflect our commitment to build political power for working people and the candidates’ commitment to protecting and advancing the lives of working families in New Jersey. Now more than ever, it is vital that our state and local elected officials prioritize the interests of working people in face of the Trump administration’s attacks on affordability and the division he and his administration seek to sow in our communities. 32BJ is ready and energized to get out the vote for these candidates starting today,” said Ana Maria Hill, 32BJ SEIU Vice President and New Jersey State Director.
