Local 26 member Heidy delivered a stack of new Local 26 voter registrations today. 
Boston’s Local 26 is proud to stand with Joe Ruggiero, candidate for State Representative of the First Suffolk District in East Boston. Joe Ruggiero believes in an East Boston where residents have good wages, good benefits, and a say in development issues that affect them.
“I will be a strong voice for hotel and food service workers,” Ruggiero said. “I will fight to make sure you have a living wage and good benefits.”
Ruggiero has the endorsement of many unions and Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh. “Joe Ruggiero has a vision for an East Boston that is strong and healthy,” said Local 26 President Brian Lang. “Our members in East Boston share that vision.”
Please vote for Joe Ruggiero March 3rd. Polls are open from 7 AM to 8 PM. Please contact Jaimie McNeil at (617) 832-6643 if you have any questions or to find out how to get involved.
