Laura Ahearn, the Port Jefferson attorney and social worker who won New York’s First Senate District primary in June, on Monday announced that she has been endorsed by the state A.F.L.-C.I.O., a coalition of public sector, private sector, and building trade unions that collectively have more than 2.5 million members in New York.
