TEAMSTERS BACK BARONI

UNION, NJ - Today the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Joint Council 73 announced their endorsement of Bill Baroni for State Senate in the 14th Legislative District. The IBT Joint Council 73 represents 60,000 members throughout New Jersey.

In addition to announcing the endorsement, IBT Joint Council 73 PAC Chairman Cliff Nolan criticized attacks from Bill Baroni’s opponent.

“Bill Baroni has always been an independent voice in the legislature and has stood up for the values of working families,” said Nolan. “There is no better friend to working families than Bill Baroni, and the Teamsters Joint Council 73 are proud to support his candidacy for State Senate. We are shocked by recent attacks by Bill’s opponent calling him a ‘Bush Republican.’ We know Bill Baroni--nothing could be further from the truth, and we call on his opponent to stop these senseless attacks.”

Baroni said he would continue being an independent voice in the State Senate.

“In the State Senate I’ll keep fighting for working families and I’ll keep being the independent voice I have been for the last four years,” said Baroni. “I am honored to gain the support of the Teamsters Joint Council 73 today, and I’ll continue standing by them and all working families in New Jersey.”
