Because of his commitment to supporting working families and a strong middle-class economy, the UAW has announced its endorsement of State Senator Roger Manno for Maryland’s 6^th Congressional District race. “Senator Manno has a proven track record in the Maryland legislature for standing up for workers,” said UAW Region 8 Director Ray Curry. Region 8 includes the state of Maryland.

“Roger Manno is responsible for the strongest manufacturing initiative in state history that says workers deserve the same tax benefits as corporations. He also supports pro-worker legislation on fair trade, currency manipulation and raising the minimum wage,” said Curry. “Senator Manno’s beliefs will bring a strong worker voice to Congress.”

Manno believes that American workers deserve good jobs, benefits and fair working conditions. “UAW members understand that we need a representative in Washington who will defend the rights of workers struggling to make ends meet and provide a decent standard of living for their families,” said Curry. “They know Roger Manno is the candidate who will fight that battle.”
