Three Region 9A Members Elected to Congress
On Tuesday, UAW members got three of our own elected to Congress from Region 9A!
In Maine, former Local 2320 member Troy Jackson was elected to the U.S. Senate, beating longtime anti-union incumbent Susan Collins. A fifth-generation logger, Troy walked the picket line during Local 3999’s strike at Bath Iron Works earlier this year and stood with the UMaine Grad Workers Union in their fight for a first contract. UAW members led the way, joining the Maine AFL-CIO and other unions to canvass for Troy, who will be a leading voice of the working class in Washington.
Congratulations to our union brother, @TroyJackson207 . It’s a new day in Maine. Solidarity forever. https://t.co/ZOkFVzyMzJ

In New York, Local 2110 member Claire Valdez and Local 2325 member Darializa Avila Chevalier handily earned over 80% of the vote after emerging victorious from competitive primary races earlier this year. Darializa won with the widest margin of any New York Congressional race this year. Claire, a committed organizer and unit chair in her local, earned the endorsement of over 30 other unions.
