Tammy Murphy, the wife of New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, has recently announced a partnership with the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) for her U.S. Senate campaign. The ATU is a labor union representing transit workers across the United States and Canada, and their support could prove to be a significant boost for Murphy’s campaign.
The partnership between Tammy Murphy and the ATU comes at a crucial time in her Senate bid. With the 2022 midterm elections rapidly approaching, candidates are working hard to secure endorsements and support from key organizations and constituencies. The ATU’s endorsement could help Murphy gain traction with working-class voters and union members, who are often a crucial voting bloc in Democratic primaries.
In a statement announcing the partnership, ATU International President John Costa praised Murphy as a champion for working families and a strong advocate for public transportation. He highlighted her commitment to fighting for fair wages, safe working conditions, and affordable healthcare for all Americans.
Murphy, for her part, expressed gratitude for the ATU’s support and emphasized the importance of investing in public transportation as a means of creating jobs, reducing carbon emissions, and improving quality of life for all Americans. She pledged to work closely with the ATU and other labor organizations to advance policies that benefit working families and promote economic justice.
The partnership between Tammy Murphy and the ATU is just the latest example of labor unions playing a prominent role in Democratic politics. As income inequality continues to rise and workers face increasing challenges in the modern economy, unions are becoming increasingly important allies for progressive candidates seeking to address these issues.
With the support of the ATU and other labor organizations, Tammy Murphy’s U.S. Senate campaign could gain momentum and attract a broad coalition of supporters. As she continues to make her case to voters across New Jersey, her partnership with the ATU will undoubtedly be a key selling point for those looking for a candidate who will fight for working families and prioritize the needs of everyday Americans.
