AR2 Applauds the Confirmation Of Kaplan To NLRB; Condemns Democrats Big Labor Interest
This evening, the Senate voted to confirm Marvin Kaplan to serve on the National Labor Relation Board (NLRB). This confirmation comes despite obstructionist Democrats voting in lockstep with their big labor interests that fund their campaigns.
Red-state Democrats were given a choice today: side with big liberal labor or put American families and workers first?
The answer: All ten red-state 2018 Democrats chose to put the left-wing labor groups that fund their campaigns ahead of their states’ workers.
Voters in 2018 need to remember that the following Senators – from states that elected President Trump – made the choice to ignore the will of voters and side with their big labor campaign financiers:
West Virginia: Joe ManchinNorth Dakota: Heidi HeitkampMontana: Jon TesterMissouri: Claire McCaskillIndiana: Joe DonnellyOhio: Sherrod BrownFlorida: Bill NelsonPennsylvania: Bob CaseyWisconsin: Tammy BaldwinMichigan: Debbie Stabenow
Today’s confirmation vote for Marvin Kaplan is a win for American workers. Those 2018 Senate Democrats who voted against his nomination will deal with the consequences of ignoring the will of voters and the pocketbooks of workers at the ballot box next year.
