\u201cFor years, Michael Russo has been a champion for Hoboken\u2019s working families,\u201d said William C. Sproule, Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters.<\/strong> \u201cHe has fought to create and protect union jobs, stood with workers to raise wages and benefits, and pushed for more workforce housing so families can thrive in Hoboken.

The EAS Carpenters are proud to support him as he fights for working families across the city.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m incredibly proud to have the Carpenters by my side in this mayoral campaign,\u201d said Dr. Michael Russo.<\/strong> \u201cFrom housing to recreation, there\u2019s a lot of work to be done in Hoboken.
