United Association of Union Plumbers and Pipefitters (UA) General President Mark McManus praised Kamala Harris’ selection of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate as a strong pick for the future of our nation:
“Governor Walz has a proven track record of fighting for working families like ours and ensuring everyone has a fair shot at success. Tim Walz knows what it takes to win tough elections, but more importantly, he knows how to govern and get things done. As Governor, Tim Walz passed the largest infrastructure law in Minnesota history – all with strong labor protections attached,” said Mark McManus, General President of the United Association. “Whether it’s his strong support for our members and the men and women of the building trades, his work to crack down on wage theft and unscrupulous contractors, or his efforts to streamline the energy permitting process, Tim Walz has worked every day to create a brighter future. As Vice President, he will continue to fight for working families and the next generation. The entire United Association looks forward to continuing our work to elect Kamala Harris as the next President of the United States and Tim Walz as the next Vice President of the United States.”
