NEW JERSEY – The Hudson County Building and Construction Trades Council today endorsed Congressman Rob Menendez for re-election in 2026. The Council represents local unions in Hudson County covering workers including most skilled trades.
“Throughout his two terms in Congress, Rob has delivered time and time again for our members across Hudson County,” said Hudson County Building and Construction Trades Council President Pat Kelleher. “When the Trump Administration tried to shut down the Gateway Program and put our members out of work, Rob stood up for us and got this project back on track. He has brought back billions in funding for transportation infrastructure, led pro-worker legislation, and worked to ensure unions like ours can continue to organize for better conditions, good jobs, and workplace protections. We are proud to support our friend, our ally, and our Congressman Rob Menendez for re-election in 2026.”
“Since I was first elected to Congress, I have stood with our Hudson County Building Trades members in fighting for the Gateway Program, for critical infrastructure projects, and with working families every single day,” said Congressman Menendez. “I am honored to again earn the support of the members of the Hudson County Building Trades, and to fight for them in Congress every single day. Together, we will continue to bring new infrastructure investments to all of our communities and work for the benefit of organized labor and our residents who depend on the results we deliver for them.”
