When we hosted our first labor lunch, we welcomed a handful of union representatives. Just 2 years later, with the tireless advocacy from Veronica Escobar for Congress, we can barely fit everyone into the photo. A testament to how hard our Congresswoman fights for workers' rights in DC, and how active our local labor unions are. #laborunions #sisepuede #strongertogether #natca International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) #iaff #seiu #nationalnursesunited AFSCME

Meeting with El Pasoans across the city has given us the opportunity to truly understand what matters most to our residents. From bike paths to keeping our graduates here, we have a plan to address much of what El Pasoans hope to see.
