Congressman Sires Endorsed by SEIU NJ State Council, Sierra Club

Strong Support Showcases Congressman’s Record on Standing Up for Working Families and the Environment

WEST NEW YORK, NJ — Rep. Albio Sires (D-Hudson) has been endorsed by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) New Jersey Council, as well as the Sierra Club, in his re-election campaign to continue representing the people of the 8th Congressional District. The support from two of the state’s leading progressive advocacy groups showcases the Congressman’s strong record of fighting for working families and to protect our environment. The endorsements come on the heels of many of the state’s largest and most influential labor unions offering their support to Congressman Sires as well.

“Both the SEIU and the Sierra Club understand that we need Democrats in Congress who will fight for economic and environmental justice, and I’m very proud to earn their support due to my record on these two crucial issues,” said Congressman Sires. “From fighting for a higher national minimum wage, to sponsoring legislation to make the federal government address climate change by following the steps outlined in the Paris Climate Agreement, I’m proud to be a leader in these two crucial areas. I thank both of these outstanding organizations for their continued support.”

Congressman Sires represents parts of Hudson, Essex and Union counties and is running for re-election to continue serving his constituents. Learn more at: albiosiresnj.com.
