UA-backed candidate Christian Menefee won a special election to the U.S. House in Texas’s 18th Congressional District, cutting the Republican majority to a single vote. Even though Republicans control the White House, House, and Senate, this razor-thin majority will help steer legislation back to where it should be in the first place: the bipartisan middle. When the UA backs candidates who support union jobs, fair wages, and strong labor standards, it makes a real difference – and it strengthens our hand when it’s time to protect our work.
