The Painters Union political action committee has endorsed Representative Lee Zeldin's re-election campaign. Council 9 of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades 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.
"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, the political director of Council 9.
