The Executive Board of the Boston Carmen’s Union, Local 589, has unanimously endorsed Cong. Stephen Lynch for U.S. Senate, and Rep. Nick Collins for Massachusetts State Senate.

Lynch and Collins plan to come to this month’s union meeting to ask members for their support.  Both are special elections. The U.S. Senate seat opened up with Sen. John Kerry becoming the head of the U.S. State Department. The seat that Collins is vying for opened up with the retirement of Sen. Jack Hart.

Both candidates support mass transit and working families.  For more information about the candidates, visit their websites:
