“The Hudson County Central Labor Council is 100% behind Sharon Nadrowski’s campaign for Bayonne mayor because we know that she will always put working people first,” Hudson CLC President Cristino Vilorio said in a statement.
“We’re proud to endorse Sharon and our members will be working hard to get out the vote over the coming weeks.”
The Hudson County Central Labor Council is a state and local council of the National AFL-CIO representing over 12,000 members across 48 affiliate unions within all 12 local municipalities.
Their support comes just over two weeks after the Hudson County Building and Construction Trades Council backed Ashe-Nadrowski, as HCV first reported.
“I’m honored to earn the support of the hardworking men and women represented by the Hudson County Central Labor Council, which has always been a force for progress and opportunity for middle class families,” she added.
“As mayor I will ensure that local union members benefit from new development in our city, which will then help support our small businesses and our city’s economy. The era of city leaders giving developers handouts without any accountability is coming to an end, because we will make sure that Bayonne residents get the jobs, tax revenue and economic support we deserve.”
The non-partisan Bayonne mayoral race is on May 12th and pits Ashe-Nadrowski against Councilman at-Large Loyad Booker and Business Administrator/Board of Education President Mary Jane Desmond.
The election is effectively for an open seat, since interim Mayor Robert Kubert, also the Peninsula City’s public safety director, is not seeking a full term.
