Lang Fights for Working Families in Race Against Incumbent Stivers
COLUMBUS -- Working men and women in Central and Southern Ohio's 15th District are standing behind Pat Lang because he'll stand up for them in Washington. Lang thanked the Ohio AFL-CIO for its endorsement as the pace picked up in his race against incumbent Congressman Steve Stivers. There are 111 days to go before Election Day.
A recent poll showed that only 38 percent of voters want to see Stivers re-elected and only 31 percent approve of the job that he's doing.
"It's no surprise voters want change. The incumbent in this race, Steve Stivers, represents the big banks and Wall Street. I will always stand with working men and women, and that's why I'm proud to have the endorsement of the AFL-CIO," Lang said.
More than 500,000 Ohioans are members of unions affiliated with the AFL-CIO.
