Boilermakers

GOTV continues to consult sources in western PA for political insights that affect the Commonwealth as a whole. WESA reports that Democratic gubernatorial nominee Josh Shapiro was endorsed by the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers Local 154, which has opposed other Democrats in the past.

The Pittsburgh-based union and local are active in the natural gas industry. 154 has, in the past, backed Republicans like former President Donald Trump, and former state senator / current gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano.

This endorsement comes on the heels of Shapiro's previously-expressed doubts about current Gov. Tom Wolf’s plan to enter into the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. Shapiro has stated he feels the initiative could harm the state’s energy sector, but have little impact on climate change.
