Pearl River, NY – 7/29/2024… Today, Congressman Mike Lawler announced the endorsement of the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers Local Union 5, coming on the heels of dozens of other endorsements by labor unions from across the Hudson Valley.

“We are happy to bestow on you the endorsement of Boilermakers Local 5,” said Tom Ryan, Business Manager, Treasurer, and Secretary of the Boilermakers Local 5. “As a member of the United States Congress Apprenticeship Caucus and Building Trades Caucus, you have stood with the organized men and women of the Hudson Valley.”

“You have strong ties with the building and construction trades local unions, going back to your time of service in the New York State Assembly,” concluded Ryan. “We are happy to join the endorsement of the Rockland County Building and Construction Trades Council.”

“I’m deeply honored to have the support of the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers Local Union 5,” stated Congressman Mike Lawler. “This endorsement is another indication that we’re building a broad, strong coalition of labor support in New York’s 17th District – in stark contrast to my opponent.”

“While in Congress, I’ve fought to deliver tens of millions in federal funding for local projects that will create good-paying, middle-class jobs for the members in the Boilermakers Local Union 5 and other unions,” Lawler added. “I’m honored to partner with the men and women of organized labor and to have their support, and I’ll never stop fighting for those that are the backbone of the Hudson Valley economy.”
