The Communications Workers of America announced endorsements for the 2022 congressional races in New Jersey on Friday, but did not endorse U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-2nd, or anyone running against him.
CWA, which mainly represents government workers, endorsed eight sitting Democratic members of Congress representing New Jersey. They are Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-12th; Donald Norcross, D-1st; Andy Kim, D-3rd; Frank Pallone, D-6th; Tom Malinowski, D-7th; Bill Pascrell, D-9th; Donald Payne Jr., D-10th; and Mikie Sherrill, D-11th.
The union also endorsed Rob Menendez for Congress in the Democratic primary for the 8th Congressional District. Menendez is the son of U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J.
“New Jersey is fortunate to have an impressive delegation of men and women who stand with working families and stand up for our Union’s values,” said Fran Ehret, CWA NJ state director. “We enthusiastically back these pro-union candidates.”
The CWA says it represents more than 70,000 working families in New Jersey, including more than 40,000 state workers, 15,000 county and municipal workers, and thousands of workers in the telecommunications, airlines, health care and direct care industries.
