Candidate Laura Gillen Speaks to Carpenters

Published | Video Starts at 00:15

It is an honor to be endorsed by the North Atlantic State's Regional Council of Carpenters. And I'm proud to have the warm support of so many in organized labor. During my tenure as Hempstead Town Supervisor, I fought hard to put our unions to work and to address their needs [during my tenure as Hempstead Town Supervisor]. I'll do the same in Congress and with your help, we'll make that happen. In the past as supervisor, I've worked with labor representatives to appoint the first union member ever to the Town of Hempstead Industrial Development Agency. (00:15–00:22)
