UAW Members Elected to Serve in Five State Legislatures Across Region 9A

UAW Region 9A has a proud tradition of electing our own members to public office. On Tuesday, current and former UAW members were elected to serve in the state legislatures of Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York.

Congratulations to three active members who were elected as state representatives for the first time: Bath Marine Draftsmen's Association president Trent Vellella in Maine, Harvard Academic Workers member Ben Ewen-Campen in Massachusetts, and NOLSW member David Orkin in New York! They join longtime UAW member legislators including Massachusetts State Senator Lydia Edwards and Connecticut State Senator Julie Kushner in public service.
