Up and down the East Coast, members helped worker-friendly candidates to win.

Members from all Union regions travelled as far afield as Erie, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire in the north all the way down to Miami, Florida, to canvass for worker champions running for national, state and local office.

Maryland members helped to elect Angela Alsobrooks to the U.S. Senate where she will serve alongside Lisa Blunt Rochester from the neighboring state of Delaware, marking the first time that two Black women have served simultaneously in the Senate. In New Jersey, Andy Kim also benefited from member support to become the first Korean American to serve in the Senate. 

In New York, members helped U.S. Congressman Pat Ryan for the 18th district hold onto his seat in a tight race. On Long Island, Democrat Tom Suozzi held onto his seat and Laura Gillan flipped her district to Democrat, with help from 1199ers. Further north in NY, the Weekend Warriors helped Josh Riley and David Mannion turn two more House seats blue in CD 19 and 22.
