August 29, 2024

BARNSTABLE, Mass. – Steve Xiarhos has officially received the endorsement of The Massachusetts and Northern New England Laborers’ District Council (a constituent body of the New England Region of the Laborers International Union of North America, “LIUNA”), in his campaign for re-election as State Representative in the 5th Barnstable District.

According to a statement by Joseph Bonfiglio, LIUNA District Council Business Manager, “Rep. Xiarhos is well-acquainted with the challenges faced by working families and tirelessly fights to improve their lives. We know that he doesn’t let up when it comes to advocating for workers and we appreciate partnering with him on Beacon Hill and in his District to deliver for LIUNA members and our communities.”

The Massachusetts and Northern New England Laborers’ District Council is one of seven District Councils making up the New England Region of the Laborers International Union of North America (LIUNA). The District Council’s 30 affiliated local unions are proud to serve and represent over 20,000 hard working men and women across the Northeast. Members of the Council’s affiliated construction unions build the homes, offices, roads, bridges, tunnels, highways and energy infrastructure that Massachusetts depends on. Meanwhile, members of affiliated public sector unions keep municipal governments, housing authorities, hospitals, schools, and cafeterias running year-round.

“It is my distinct honor to be endorsed by the Massachusetts and Northern New England Laborers’ District Council in my campaign for re-election as State Representative,” Steve Xiarhos said. “As a former police officer I myself was a member of a labor union for many years. I respect the importance of organized labor for making sure working men and women earn decent wages so they can support their families, that they have adequate insurance and other benefits to protect them, and that there are sufficient safety measures in-place to keep them safe and secure on the job. I stand together with working men and women here on Cape Cod and it’s my honor to support them on Beacon Hill as their State Representative.”

The endorsement is the latest in a series of recent endorsements announced by the Xiarhos campaign. Noteworthy recent endorsements include:
