As the son of a UAW Local 424 worker, I’m proud to be a union employee and a union supporter. I’ve served as a union representative and an executive board member, along with being a political action committee (PAC) representative for two state-wide unions. I am currently active in representing union members through lobbying for legislation that enhances the pay and working conditions of organized labor. As the parent of a very intelligent daughter, she is my little helper, whether on the campaign trail or in the union hall. Strong unions have provided the American worker with bargaining agreements that provide for fair wages, benefits, and safe working conditions. Unions are not only the backbone of America, but they are also the backbone of the City of Tonawanda Working Class! As an Army Veteran and working class employee, I am honored to represent organized labor!
