CWA District 1 Endorses Chris Ryan for State Senate

The Communications Workers of America District 1 is proud to endorse Chris Ryan for New York State Senate, District 50.

Ryan is a lineman, longtime President of the Communications Workers of America Local 1123, and the Minority Leader in the Onondaga County Legislature.

“Chris Ryan has been a strong fighter for working families for decades,” said Dennis Trainor, Vice President for CWA District 1. “As President of CWA Local 1123, we know Chris Ryan understands the challenges facing working people across New York, and as the Minority Leader of the Onondaga County Legislature, he has the experience in government needed to win for working families. We need labor champions in office who walk the walk, who will fight for workers, not the billionaires, and who will champion good jobs and better standards in the workplace. We can’t wait to elect one of CWA’s own to fight for us in Albany.”
