Election Results Signal Demand for Economic Security and Opportunity, Says NABTU President

WASHINGTON, D.C. – November 4, 2026 – Following the recent elections, Sean McGarvey, President of North America's Building Trades Unions (NABTU), made a significant statement about the transformative nature of the outcomes and their implications for the future.

"We celebrate the historic firsts and barrier-breaking leaders elected yesterday. Their victories opened doors for future generations and remind us that progress is possible when Americans make their voices heard," McGarvey stated, emphasizing the pivotal nature of these elections.

Despite the surrounding political din, American citizens delivered a clear message to policymakers at every level. The electorate highlighted their concerns about the diminishing middle class and expressed a desire for leaders committed to restoring economic stability and expanding opportunities. "The American middle class has been hollowed out, and working families want leaders focused on restoring economic security, expanding opportunity, and creating real pathways to prosperity, not political gamesmanship and distractions," McGarvey pointed out.

Highlighting the historic role of unions, McGarvey stressed their central role in building and revitalizing America’s middle class. He affirmed the readiness of North America's Building Trades Unions to collaborate with committed leaders from both political parties to bolster the American industry and workforce. "Unions helped build America’s middle class, and the Building Trades have been and will continue to be central to rebuilding it," he noted, underscoring the importance of bipartisan cooperation in advancing policies that ensure lasting economic opportunities for working families.
