PA-GOV: Will labor unions propel Josh Shapiro to reelection victory?
Support from union members and working Pennsylvanians across the Commonwealth will be a key component of Gov. Josh Shapiro’s reelection campaign, according to some of the state’s top labor leaders.
Shapiro is launching his reelection campaign with events in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia on Thursday, and he is expected to run against two-term Pennsylvania State Treasurer Stacy Garrity, who was endorsed by the Republican party last fall.
“[Shapiro] understands that protecting workers, putting workers to work, seeing to it that highway dollars, training dollars, education funding comes out here. [Union members] understand that doesn’t have a D, an I or, an R next to it,” Darrin Kelly, outgoing President of the Allegheny-Fayette Central Labor Council, said in an interview.
“He understands that it’s about making sure that Pennsylvania works, and that will never have a political tag to it, and that’s what people see.”
