Letter: Ezra Nanes Is the Right Choice for Workers

In November, voters in the 34th District have a very important choice to make at the ballot box. Harrisburg Republicans want to completely dismantle unions in Pennsylvania. After the disastrous Janus v. AFSCME decision, workers in Pennsylvania are at risk of losing their ability to organize for fair wages and workplace protections. Ezra Nanes will stand up for workers.

Unions fight for the rights of workers like teachers, nurses and construction workers – everyday people that work hard to feed, clothe and educate their families. Unions fought for the 40-hour work week, paid sick leave, and social security, and Ezra understands the value of these rights.

Ezra Nanes is the clear choice for workers in Central Pennsylvania. Ezra has made protecting and strengthening unions and the rights they have earned for each of us one of the top priorities in his campaign. He will fight for a higher minimum wage, stand up for small businesses and protect our pensions. I am confident Ezra will work for the people, not corporations and Harrisburg special interests.

His commitment to labor has already been recognized with major endorsements from unions like AFSCME District 83 and Teamsters Local 8.

I am voting for Ezra Nanes on November 6. I urge you to do so as well.
