CWAers Working to Make History in the 2025 Elections

Members throughout New York City and New Jersey have been hitting the pavement in droves over the past several weeks to help make an impact in major elections this year that will directly impact millions of workers.

New Jersey is one of just two states in the country with an election for Governor this year, so all eyes have been on the Garden State as we get closer to November 4th. CWA members have risen to the task, with hundreds turning out for several Saturdays in a row to knock on doors and speak with voters about Mikie Sherrill for Governor, and the importance of this election overall. CWA represents over 35,000 workers for the State of New Jersey, who bargain with the Governor’s office for our contract and our working conditions — making this race even more critical and every door knocked by our members even more important. CWAers have also been getting out the vote for State Assembly candidates who have committed to working with us to tackle the healthcare cost crisis and overall affordability in New Jersey.

Across the river in New York City, similarly, CWA represents roughly 9,000 workers for the City of New York who will bargain with the office of the Mayor, and CWAers have been hard at work since September to talk with voters and help elect Zohran Mamdani as Mayor, as well as City Council candidates throughout the city.
