PATCHOGUE, NY – The Painters Union PAC, representing District Council 9, endorsed Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1) for re-election in 2020.

“The Painters are endorsing Congressman Zeldin because of his proven commitment to promoting policies and opportunities for the middle class in New York,” said Davon Lomax, Political Director, District Council 9, Painters & Allied Trades.

Council 9 of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) represents 11,000 members and is an organization of painters, decorators, wall coverers, drywall finishers, sign painters, metal polishers, bridge and structural steel painters, civil service painters, lead abatement workers, glaziers and architectural metal glassworkers, paint makers, and allied tradesmen.

“I am proud to have the endorsement of the Painters Union,” said Congressman Zeldin. “It’s essential that we keep good paying jobs coming to Long Island, which is exactly what will happen with the recent kickoff of the $2 billion Electron Ion Collider coming to Brookhaven National Lab.”
