Local 11 endorses Rebecca after being part of a New Jersey Building Trades Endorsement of Tom Kean Jr. in 2024
SOMERVILLE, NJ — Today, the Iron Workers Local 11 announced their endorsement of Rebecca Bennett for Congress in NJ-07. The support comes after Local 11 had been part of a New Jersey Building Trades union endorsement in 2024.
“Union labor built New Jersey and union labor will be the key to giving us an advantage in a 21st century economy while ensuring that families can live the American Dream. I am honored to have the support of the Iron Workers Local 11 in this race. Together, we’ll fight to protect bargaining rights, expand skilled apprenticeship opportunities, and build the middle class,” said Rebecca Bennett.
“Rebecca Bennett has dedicated her life to service, first as a Navy helicopter pilot and Air National Guard officer, and later as a leader in the healthcare sector. She has demonstrated the leadership, integrity, and commitment to public service that working families deserve in Congress.
“Our members build the bridges, transit systems, energy projects, and commercial developments that keep New Jersey moving forward. We support Rebecca because she understands the importance of investing in infrastructure, creating good-paying union jobs, and strengthening the middle class. Those investments not only grow our economy, they create career opportunities for the next generation of skilled trades workers.
“Rebecca Bennett has the experience and determination to deliver results for working families, veterans, and union members. We are proud to stand with her and encourage the voters of New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District to send her to Congress,” said John E. Wade Jr., Financial Secretary-Treasurer & Business Manager, Iron Workers Local Union No. 11.
