Union Endorses GOP Candidate | Concord News

A Republican roofing contractor just got a major union endorsement—SEIU Local 1984 is backing Victor Orlando in New Hampshire’s congressional race, marking a rare but powerful shift. Unions, usually Democratic-leaning, praised his support for collective bargaining and middle-class priorities. This signals growing alignment between working-class Republicans and labor interests, as younger GOP voters embrace pro-worker policies. Orlando hailed the endorsement as a First Amendment victory, emphasizing workers’ right to speak up. The union, diversifying its endorsements for years, sees about a third of its members as Republicans—and is focused on supporting candidates who genuinely advocate for their needs, not party loyalty. No general election commitments yet, but this move could reshape how unions engage across the aisle. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
