The American Federation of Teachers New Jersey during its June 28 delegate assembly meeting voted to endorse Gov. Phil Murphy and Lt. Gov. Sheila Oliver for reelection this fall.
The AFTNJ is also endorsing Senate President Steve Sweeney (District 3) and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin (District 19) for reelection.
“Over the past four years, New Jersey’s legislative leadership team of Murphy, Oliver, Sweeney and Coughlin listened and respected the voices and concerns of working families and their unions,” said AFTNJ President Donna M. Chiera. “The legislation that was passed and signed during this timeframe puts students, workers and communities first.
“We have come a long way, but there is still a lot of work to be done. Gov. Murphy, Lt. Gov. Oliver, Senate President Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Coughlin have proven they are the best team for the job.”
