IBEW Local 827 Endorses Davis Team in Bayonne

BAYONNE, NJ — The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Union Local 827 is endorsing Mayor Jimmy Davis and his Council team for re-election. Representing thousands of unionized workers at Verizon, Comcast and several other major employers in the state, the union cited the Davis Team’s commitment to responsible economic development and progressive values in offering its support.

“Union men and women are the backbone of Bayonne and we’re thrilled to have the support of some of the hardest working people in our state in the members of IBEW Local 827,” said Mayor Davis. “It’s great to see that our team’s record of revitalizing Bayonne continue to be recognized by the working men and women who we are fighting for every day, and I thank IBEW Local 827 for their support.”

Thanks to the Davis administration’s economic development initiatives, Bayonne is poised to gain approximately $2.5 billion in new real estate investment in the next several years. This is projected to amount to an increase in local tax revenue of $10 million, allowing the city to lower property taxes, invest in important services and move towards eliminating the longstanding structural deficit and financial issues the city has faced for decades.

“Mayor Jimmy Davis and his team have put Bayonne on the path to a brighter future for all residents by attracting new investment to the city,” said Thomas Kelly, IBEW Local 827 Executive Board member and Business Agent for Hudson Unit 1. “The entire Davis Team is committed to helping working families succeed and they are the right choice to continue leading this city forward.”
