“32BJ congratulates George Latimer on his election to the state Senate. George showed through his work on the Westchester County Board of Legislators his commitment to championing the rights of middle-class and working families. New York needs state Senators like him who will work to create a broadly shared prosperity in our state. 32BJ members have been out in his district for weeks, canvassing fellow union members  and volunteering on the campaign.”
