Plumbers Local 98 Endorses Haley Stevens for U.S. Senate

Plumbers Local 98: “Haley knows workers built Michigan, and she’ll fight for us to keep building Michigan”

DETROIT, MI – Today, Plumbers Local 98, representing more than 1600 members working in the construction and service industry throughout the Detroit area as Plumbers, Welders, and Metal Tradesmen, announced its endorsement of Congresswoman Haley Stevens for U.S. Senate. In their endorsement, Plumbers Local 98 Business Manager Gary Glaser highlighted Haley’s commitment to the Michigan workers who are building and growing our state–and how she’s the best candidate to take the fight to Mike Rogers and Donald Trump.

“Congresswoman Haley Stevens walks the walk when it comes to protecting union jobs, fighting for Michigan organized labor, workers, skilled trades, and blue collar construction workers, and taking on Donald Trump’s anti-worker agenda,” said Plumbers Local 98 Business Manager Gary Glaser. “With Donald Trump and his hand-picked, rubber stamp candidate Mike Rogers trying to shut down the Gordie Howe Bridge and the years of work and good-paying jobs it created, we need someone who can fight and win for Michigan in the Senate–and that’s Haley Stevens.”

“I am proud to have the support of the hardworking men and women of Plumbers Local 98,” said Congresswoman Haley Stevens. “Michigan’s workers built our state and members of Local 98 carry that legacy forward every day with their craftsmanship, dedication, and pride in their work. I will always fight to protect union jobs, strengthen collective bargaining, and ensure the next generation of Michigan workers has the opportunity to build a strong future right here at home.”

Haley continues to build the infrastructure to win statewide in Michigan and gain momentum. She is the only candidate in this race with the endorsement of multiple labor unions. So far, Haley has been endorsed by the Michigan Machinists Council, Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers Local 2, IronWorkers Local 25, Teamsters Local 243, UNITE HERE Local 24, Pipefitters, Steamfitters, Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Service Local Union 636, former state House Speaker Joe Tate, Congresswoman Hillary Scholten, the Mayors of Lansing and Grand Rapids, 11 mayors across Metro Detroit, 12 Oakland County elected officials and community leaders, 40 clergy members across Michigan, the Michigan Democratic Party Black Caucus, Reps. Helena Scott (Detroit), Tyrone Carter (Detroit), Amos O’Neal (Saginaw), Brenda Carter (Pontiac), former Detroit Mayor and NBA Hall of Famer Dave Bing, former MI Governor Jim Blanchard, former Governor Martin O’Malley, Elect Democratic Women PAC, and Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi.

Haley’s strength comes from her relentless focus on protecting and growing Michigan manufacturing, fighting Trump’s reckless tariffs that undermine Michigan industries and jobs while increasing costs, and working to make groceries and health care more affordable for Michiganders. Haley was named the most effective Democratic member of Congress from Michigan and the most effective Democrat in the entire Congress on technology issues. She’ll continue that record of winning for Michigan to the U.S. Senate.
