Coyne Business Manager John C. D’Amico October 7, 2020 Political Director Dear Brothers & Sisters, Steering Committee Kenneth A. Turnquist In the midst of a global pandemic and economic downturn, a heated and unusual Patrick F. McCarthy Presidential election is drawing closer to its end. The November election might turn out to be the most important of the 21st century so far. Although it may Jones L. Richmond seem like we say this every year, I believe it has never been truer. Jim A. Mansfield Over the past two years, unions have been forced to defend ourselves from Michael E. Shea vicious attacks from anti-labor groups and politicians. In addition, we have been Paul J. Hinterlong fighting to protect the plumbing licensing law against non-union and other trade Peter C. Olsen groups alike. Charles A. Seibert That is why I am asking you as well as your family and friends to vote for the labor Joseph W. Strong friendly candidates that we are endorsing in the letter. These candidates have John P. Hosty worked to support working families and the plumbing licensing law. William A. Wilkens, III Over the next three Saturdays before the election, Local 130’s Political Action Task Force (PATF) will be helping our political friends by getting the vote out. I Bart F.
