Retail Politics in El Barrio as Samuelsen Campaigns with Adriano Espaillat

SATURDAY, JUNE 14 -- TWU Local 100 President John Samuelsen and Sec-Treasurer Earl Phillips campaigned today with transit workers and unionists from RWDSU and LIUNA Local 78 to support State Senator Adriano Espaillat in his run for Congress. Espaillat, who has always been front and center for transit workers, faces longtime Harlem power broker Charlie Rangel in the Democratic Primary on June 24th. We're mobilizing our 1,800 members in New York's 13th Congressional District to get out and vote. TWU Local 100 has set up a storefront office for Espaillat at 118th Street and First Avenue. All members are asked to check in and volunteer. If elected, Espaillat will be a major advocate for more mass transit funding on Capitol Hill.
