Long Island Federation of Labor Executive Director Roger Clayman with Huntington Councilwoman Joan Cergol

Huntington Councilwoman Joan Cergol has again won the endorsement of the Long Island Federation of Labor in her 2019 reelection campaign. 

In a letter from President John Durso and Executive Director Roger Clayman, the 250,000-member Long Island Federation said its endorsement was based on Councilwoman Cergol’s record and her commitment to working families.  

“We are confident that you share with us a common vision about the future of Long Island,” the Federation wrote. “Good jobs with decent pay and benefits are the basis of a stable middle-class lifestyle. That is something we can achieve together.” The Federation said it looked forward to “working with you to build opportunities for the next generation, to live and work here on Long Island is safe, prosperous communities.” 

“I am gratified that the Long Island Federation recognized my continuing dedication to keeping Huntington a Town that fosters economic development, preserves our middle class life style and paves the way for our future,” said Councilwoman Cergol, who also received Long Island Federation support in her 2018 election campaign. “I thank the LI Fed for their endorsement and look forward to continuing to work with them.”
