MESA, AZ — Greg Stanton for Congress today announced that Ironworkers Local 75, representing the skilled tradespeople who have built Arizona’s skyline for more than a century, have endorsed Congressman Greg Stanton for re-election.

“Ironworkers Local 75 is proud to stand with Greg Stanton because he’s always stood with Arizona’s working families,” said Jason L. Sangster, Business Manager and Financial Secretary-Treasurer of Ironworkers Local 75. “Greg understands that strong unions and a skilled workforce are the foundation of Arizona’s growth. He’s worked to bring home good-paying jobs, invest in infrastructure, and ensure workers have the training they need to build our state’s future.”

 

Since 1910, Ironworkers Local 75 has trained thousands of highly skilled men and women to safely construct many of Arizona’s most iconic structures from bridges and stadiums to manufacturing facilities and renewable energy projects.

 

“We’re honored to have Ironworkers Local 75 on our team,” said Cameron Adams, campaign spokesperson. “This endorsement reflects Greg’s deep partnership with the people who literally build our economy and his focus on tackling the nation’s affordability crisis. He remains committed to making sure every Arizonan can build a good life and that workers are paid fair wages and treated with dignity and respect.”

 

Stanton, a lifelong advocate for working families and former mayor of Phoenix, has helped secure major federal investments in infrastructure, manufacturing, and clean energy—efforts that continue to create thousands of union jobs across Arizona.

• Protected and expanded apprenticeship and workforce training – Stanton supports workforce development programs, including short-term Pell Grants and pre-apprenticeship training.
