We are confident that these leaders will stand up for our members and working families across the region. Together, we elected Joe Biden, a labor champion who will take the needs of workers seriously in the White House. We also made critical inroads in Maine and New Hampshire, powering candidates like Troy Jackson and Jared Golden to victory. These connections will help us strengthen labor rights across New England. Thank you to all those who cast ballots in this critical election. Whether you voted, volunteered your time for a campaign, or helped spread the word to your neighbors and friends, your efforts did not go unnoticed. The election may be over, but please keep up your political engagement. JOE BIDEN
