Washington, D.C. (November 18, 2022) – Terry O’Sullivan, General President of LIUNA – the Laborers’ International Union of North America – made the following statement today:

Speaker Pelosi has been both the staunchest of advocates and the most effective of leaders in her decades of service to the American people. Her wit, charm, and political savvy have disarmed opposition and inspired her supporters. Her kindness and character are an example to all and in a time of great discord a light in the dark.

 

Speaker Pelosi has always been unflinching, indomitable, and unstoppable in fighting for progress on workers’ rights, health care, infrastructure, diversity, and in protecting our democracy. Her life’s work has been to help working families and provide opportunities for those less fortunate. Her efforts have transformed our nation for the better.

 

Speaker Pelosi is an American hero. She is the finest of legislators and most capable of leaders. We could have had no one better. Speaker Pelosi has been our champion and we are so grateful for her support and commitment.

 

Thank you Madam Speaker for your leadership, patriotism, and service.
