Santora is the type of leader we need in Harrisburg and will make a great State Representative.” “I appreciate the support of Operating Engineers Local 542 and their endorsement of my campaign. I will be an independent voice in Harrisburg for local residents, serving as a fiscal watchdog, working to increase funding for education, and addressing the growing burden of property taxes,” said Santora. “The diverse backing of labor unions, business organizations, nurses, police, and firefighters underscores my commitment to work in a bipartisan, commonsense manner. It’s time to set aside partisan differences and work together to address issues like job creation, public safety, and revitalizing our communities.” Members of Operating Engineers Local 542 are a blend of heavy equipment operators in the building and construction industry, as well as individuals employed at quarries, landfills, equipment dealers, shipyards, breweries, manufacturers, airports, bridges, and public works.
