The endorsement is Mr. Zeldin’s eighth union endorsement in the 2020 election cycle. The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 138, the Road and Heavy Construction Laborers Local Union No. 1298, the International Organization of Masters, Mates, and Pilots, the SMART Transportation division of the Long Island Rail Road, Plumbers Local 200, the Police Benevolent Association of New York State, and the North Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters have also endorsed his campaign.
