Robert McDevitt, Chairperson, UNITE HERE Local 54
We are very proud to announce that the UNITE HERE Local 54 Political Action Committee has unanimously voted to endorse Tim Alexander… Tim enjoyed a long and distinguished career in law enforcement, retiring as a Detective Captain …During his career, Tim has always focused on programs that work to develop alternative solutions to problems within communities, and to increase trust in law enforcement.
Tim will be fighting to bring good Union jobs to our district to rebuild our infrastructure, expand rail and bus public transportation, and connect the AC Airport to Atlantic City via light rail. He is intent on fighting to protect a Woman’s right to make her own health care decisions in conjunction with her doctor, not with politicians; and to ensure equal pay for equal work.
Tim supports responsible gun ownership with common sense solutions like universal background checks, extreme risk protection orders, and safe storage laws… Tim recognizes the severity of the environmental crisis we are in and supports the measures being advocated and taken by the administration. At the top of his list of priorities is protecting our democracy. He supports the “For the People Act” and the “John Lewis Voting Rights Act” Tim also knows that making health care more affordable and accessible for all Americans will save lives.
Tim Alexander’s positions reflect the values of our Union and our District. We need to send him to Washington to fight for us.
Tim Alexander
I am so proud to have the support of Local 54 in this race. I have been a Union member since my high-school job at Shoprite, when I joined the Union, and I maintain a lifelong membership in the PBA even after retiring from Law Enforcement. The work that Local 54 does to protect its member’s livelihoods and ensure fair treatment is inspiring, as exemplified by their swift resolution of contract negotiations earlier this summer. When elected to Congress, I will always stand with labor and the working people of this district.
