13 LD Assembly Candidates Pick-Up Endorsement of AFL-CIO

Matthew Morehead and Allison Friedman
Aberdeen Township, (Monmouth County NJ) -- On Wednesday, June 12, 2013, the AFL-CIO endorsed Legislative District 13, State Assembly candidates, Allison Friedman and Matthew Morehead.

New Jersey State AFL-CIOPresident Charles Wowkanech's statement, "Our endorsed candidates understand that it is not fair to ask middle class families to sacrifice for an economic recovery that leaves them behind. Instead they believe that supporting workers and communities is the key to a sustainable and true recovery.”

Candidates Allison Friedman and Matthew Morehead made the following joint statement, “We are thankful and appreciative of the faith AFL-CIO has in myself and my running mates. Together we hope to bring their voice to Trenton and bring back the middle class."

“Union workers are some of the most dedicated people New Jersey has. Evidence of that was the amazing work done on the Belmar boardwalk. For more than the last four years these hard working, dedicated New Jersey residents have been vilified by the government elected to represent them. The time has come for their voice to be heard in Trenton. I thank them for their support.” said Allison Friedman

"I am well aware that I would not have been able to start my own business if it had not been for the opportunities the PBA enabled my father to have and the benefits my mother earned through the nurses' Union." said Matthew Morehead
