1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East today announced its endorsement of Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill for Governor of New Jersey. The union represents some 8,000 nursing home, hospital, and pharmacy workers throughout New Jersey and 450,000 caregivers on the East Coast.

 

“Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill shares our values and our vision for ensuring all New Jerseyans have access to quality healthcare, affordable housing, and a living wage. She is a proven leader who has stood with 1199SEIU members fighting for fair contracts who will stand up to the Trump administration as they attack Medicare and Medicaid–programs that are vital in ensuring New Jerseyans can access the care they need. 1199SEIU caregivers are proud to support Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill,” said Andy Cassagnol, Executive Vice President of 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East.
