AFL-CIO Passes Over NY-19

Nick Reisman

The AFL-CIO on Monday endorsed a host of Democratic candidates and incumbents running in key battleground districts in New York, but declined to take up an endorsement in the 19th congressional district race between Republican Rep. Chris Gibson and Democratic challenger Sean Eldridge.

The labor umbrella group also declined to endorse opponents of Republican incumbents Peter King on Long Island and western New York Rep. Chris Collins.
