Adam Kinzinger said: “John Avlon gets it. He understands that the defining struggle of our times is democracy versus autocracy, at home and abroad. He understands that in this election we need to build a broad patriotic coalition to defend American democracy that includes Democrats, independents and Republicans – or as I like to say, what’s left of the sane right, the center and the left. John Avlon is the candidate who can do it and New York’s First District is the place to do it. I’ve served in Congress and chose to put country over party and truth over lies. I know John Avlon will as well. He will be an independent voice for common sense in Congress and strong advocate for bipartisan problem solving. That’s why I’m proud to call him a friend and proud to serve as the chairman of Republicans for Avlon.” <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> Avlon said: “I am honored to have the support of these principled Republicans, who are putting country before party. We are fulfilling our commitment to build a broad patriotic coalition of Republicans, Democrats, independents, and everyone else who thinks our country deserves common sense leadership, not more hyper-partisanship.” He is running against US Rep. Nick LaLota&nbsp; in the 1st congressional district, which includes part of Huntington. Transport Workers Back LaLota US Rep. Nick LaLota R-1st, has been endorsed by Transport Workers Union&nbsp; Local 252. The union represents&nbsp;over 4300 members at N.I.C.E. – Transdev Bus/Paratransit, Suffolk Transportation Service, Inc./Suffolk Bus&nbsp; First Student, and Guardian Bus Company, and the membership is made up of transit operators, school bus drivers, van drivers, matrons, paratransit operators, and mechanics. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> “The 4,300 hard-working members of TWU 252 keep Long Island moving and I am proud to have earned their endorsement.&nbsp; In Congress, I have worked with various labor unions, like Local 252, to ensure more Long Islanders have access to good jobs, good wages, and good living,” LaLota said. “As a steadfast advocate for our transport workers, I’m fighting in Congress every day to lower costs, create jobs, and deliver real results for them and their families. I will continue to champion legislation that supports our vital transportation infrastructure and benefits the hardworking men and women of Suffolk County and I appreciate TWU’s support in my re-election.” “Transport Workers Union Local 252 is proud to endorse Nick LaLota for his reelection to Congress,” said Debra Hagan, president of TWU Local 252. “Nick has proven with his actions, and not just words, that he stands with labor and the everyday working man and woman not only here on Long Island, but across this nation. We thank Congressman LaLota for his continued support for labor.” <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> TWU was founded in 1934 by subway workers in New York City and Local 252 was originally chartered on August 1st, 1946. <blockquote class="wp-embedded-content"><a href="https://huntingtonnow.com/democrats-for-trump-event-avlon-endorsement/" rel="nofollow"> ‘Democrats for Trump’ Event; Avlon Endorsement </a></blockquote><iframe class="wp-embedded-content" height="338" src="https://huntingtonnow.com/democrats-for-trump-event-avlon-endorsement/embed/#?secret=TNkSZct1cR#?secret=gH1dFHuUVj" title="“‘Democrats for Trump’ Event; Avlon Endorsement” — Huntington Now" width="100%"></iframe><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate></div></body>
