Dear New Jersey State AFL-CIO E-Activist,

499 LABOR CANDIDATE VICTORIES!

            Voters in several New Jersey municipalities went to the polls yesterday to elect members on non-partisan city councils.  Working in partnership with the Central Labor Councils, Building Trades Councils, and affiliated unions, 4 out of 5 union members were elected, bringing the total number of rank-and-file union members elected to public office since 1997 to 499.

            The New Jersey State AFL-CIO is proud of all the rank-and-file union members who seek election to public office through the Labor Candidates Program.  Through each union member's election to public office, the voice of New Jersey's working families continues to grow stronger.  Following is a list of the successful candidates.   

Name	Union	Council
Tana Raymond	AFT 3997	Garfield Council
Edward Conrow	IAFF S-18	Vineland Council
John Moran	IBEW 351	Delran Council
Donna Williams	OPEIU 153	Orange Council

            Working together, the voice of working families will continue to be heard at the polls.
