“Such an honor to be endorsed by this historic labor union which has been advocating for the interests of the working families of Bucks and Montgomery counties for well over a century now. I promise to continue representing working class interests like prevailing wage and retirement security and remain committed to investments in infrastructure improvements in our local communities that enhance quality of life and create jobs for working class families,” said Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick.

The IBEW Local 98 represents 5,500 working men and women in the Greater Philadelphia area, along with thousands of retired members and their families.
