Eugene DePasquale picked up a major endorsement from the Pennsylvania Building Trades for Attorney General. The council represents 130,000 workers across the commonwealth.
The Pennsylvania State Building and Construction Trades Council, which represents more than 130,000 union members across the commonwealth, endorsed Eugene DePasquale for Pennsylvania Attorney General on Thursday.
“We’ve fought hard to organize and bargain for our members, but when the bosses try to steal our wages, misclassify us as contractors instead of employees, or push us to work in unsafe conditions, we need another strong, effective ally on our side,” PA Building Trades Council President Rob Bair said in a statement.
“We trust Eugene will be in our corner for those fights—because for the last 20 years, he always has.”
DePasquale, a Pittsburgh native, was first elected to the Pennsylvania House in 2006 and then went on to serve as Pennsylvania Auditor General from 2013 to 2021. He is running against York County’s Republican District Attorney Dave Sunday for Attorney General in the fall election.
