The United Auto Workers has endorsed Democrat Stephanie Schmid for Congress in New Jersey’s 4th district.
Schmid is taking on Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-Hamilton), a 20-term Republican congressman.
“Jobs in the auto industry and our rights as workers have been hit hard for many years, and we are confident that Stephanie will be an advocate for us in Washington, a partner in our fight to ensure a living wage for all workers, the right to collective bargaining, and to keep auto industry jobs here at home,” said UAW Region 9 director Jeffrey Binz.” UAW looks forward to working side-by-side with Stephanie in Congress to further benefit the workers of our nation and defend our right to unionize.”
