Nick Miccarelli, our former National Co-Chair, seems to be doing quite well in the race for the 162nd House District around Delaware County, Pennsylvania. In fact, his opponent’s union seems to agree that Staff Sergeant Miccarelli is the best fit for their district:

Though what practical impact, if any, the UAW endorsement will have on the race is unclear, it is notable mainly because Miccarelli’s opponent, John DeFrancisco, is a longtime union member and was until recently its president.

Nick has this to say about the surprise endorsement:

 ”It means a lot to me, and it speaks a little bit to Tony’s fortitude to recognize who the right man for the people of this district is,” said Miccarelli, whose father was a member of the union.

Isn’t this sorta like your mom voting for the other guy? Ouch.
