These remarkable victories are the result of the tireless work of our CLCs and affiliates, and bring our total record of successful elections to 1,228 since 1997. In this year’s general elections, we have a 92% win ratio for congressional candidates and an 83% win ratio for labor candidates. We look forward to the results of the run-off elections in Perth Amboy and Trenton to potentially extend this year’s already impressive win ratio.
