TRURO – 1199-SEIU Massachusetts has announced their endorsement of Cape and Islands State Senator Julian Cyr as he competes for reelection.
The union represents more than 56,000 healthcare workers across the state, advocating for higher industry wages and affordable healthcare.
“I am proud to have the support of healthcare workers across the Cape & Islands,” said Cyr,
“I began my career in public health, and I know how critically important it is that we support the people who work every day to care for us and help restore us to health.”
In their endorsement, 1199-SEIU cited Cyr’s efforts in support of Paid Family and Medical Leave, state-subsidized healthcare, and opioid addiction services.
The Truro Democrat is seeking a second term against Republican Barnstable Town Councilor John Flores.
“1199SEIU can continue to count on me to advance policies that improve the quality of life and work for every resident in the Commonwealth,” said Cyr.
