– Desperate times have called for desperate measures and that’s what the GOP of Delaware
County (Delco GOP) has brought to the 26th Legislative District of Pennsylvania with their
smear campaign of respected Union Leader, John Kane.!

As President and Business Manager of the Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers Local 1 PA/DE, I
continuously honor commitments to my membership to support political parties and candidates
that have the best interests of area workers at heart, regardless of party affiliation. The bottom
line is we support those that ultimately provide a better standard of living for the middle class.

Over the past couple of years, the Delco GOP has accepted over 1.5 million dollars from OrganizedLabor. It’s ironic, that these same unions are now being unjustly attacked, and the same Union Leadership that has supported these parties and candidates is being negatively referred to as “Union Bosses” by Tom McGarrigle and the Delco GOP.

The recent attacks by Tom McGarrigle against John Kane, PA State Senate candidate, and the
Labor Union Movement in general, are unwarranted, untruthful and downright despicable. After
decades of Republican leadership in Delaware County, the GOP has succumbed to sleaze tactics
when facing a strong Democratic challenger. What does this say about our “Labor-friendly”
GOP politicians of Delaware County? What does it say when not one Republican politician in
Delco has stood up to defend Organized Labor? Instead, the Delaware County Republican
Leadership has been silent rather than denouncing McGarrigle and his obviously negative campaign tactics.

John Kane has been a trusted colleague of mine for many years. I have witnessed the challenges
he has faced as a journeyman plumber, as a ader of Plumbers Union Local 690, and
now as a candidate for PA State Senate. He’s accepted this challenge because he knows it is
the right thing to do for working people throughout Delaware County. John has the courage and
passion to be your voice in Harrisburg. He will show up for the working people of Delaware
County; I hope the 26th District will show up for him on November 4th.

From the PA. AFL-CIO

– In under 36 hours, the polls will close, the dust will settle, and we will find out what kind of a future is in store for workers in Pennsylvania. The good news is that you have a vote in this election – but only if you show up and use it. Because the stakes are so high this year, for the future of workers’ rights in Pennsylvania, we need you to do more than just vote tomorrow; we need you to talk to your coworkers, your family members, and your friends and neighbors. Urge them to vote also, because when working people vote, we can counter the influence of corporate money in campaigns, and elect leaders who will enact a pro-worker agenda.

That is why The Pennsylvania AFL-CIO has endorsed Tom Wolf for Governor, because we believe he will lead Pennsylvania in a new direction, and respect the vital role that labor plays in creating an economy that works for all of us, not just the wealthy few.

But Tom Wolf can’t do it alone! This is why we have also endorsed in State Legislative races across Pennsylvania, many of which will be decided by a mere handful of votes.

Look no further than anti-labor extremist Rick Saccone, who in 2012 defeated Dave Levdansky by just 112 votes. Rick Saccone has since gone on to co-sponsor so-called “Paycheck Protection” legislation, along with numerous bills attacking pensions, prevailing wage, and more.

In 2010 one of the closest races was Sue Helm, who defeated challenger Gene Stilp by a mere 313 votes. She went on to co-sponsor Daryl Metcalfe’s “Right-To-Work” legislation, HB50, as well as the “Paycheck Protection” bill. She supported numerous attacks on pensions and prevailing wage, and she even supported Corbett’s failed scheme to outsource the management of the Pennsylvania Lottery to a foreign corporation.

If union members vote, this year we can make sure these close contests go our way, and result in electing candidates who will defend workers’ rights, instead of attacking them!

Use your voice, and make your plan to VOTE!
