Political Action Updates July 2024 - NYS Primary Election - CWA Leader Wins!
We had several wins in last month’s New York State Primary Elections for CWA-backed candidates, including John Mannion running for Congress in Syracuse, UAW member Claire Valdez for State Senate winning in one of the more exciting races of the night! Micah Lasher won in a five-way race one of the most-watched Assembly races, 1199 member Demond Meeks won for Assembly in West Rochester.
But the biggest win of the night was CWA Local 1123 President Chris Ryan, who secured the Democratic nomination for New York State Senate in Senate District 50! Ryan will face a tough race come November, so we’ll need all hands on deck to help send one of our own to Albany to represent us. Click here to learn more about Chris’s campaign and ways to help!
