NJ-07: VA hospital workers union backs Tina Shan (D)

The American Federation of Government Employees Local 102 has endorsed Tina Shah for the Democratic nomination for Congress in New Jersey’s 7th district.

“Dr. Shah has served as a policy leader at the highest levels of government, including the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, where she served as the first National Director of Clinician Wellbeing, ensuring those who served our country receive the benefits they have earned,” said Adam Cartegena, the union president. “I look forward to working with Dr. Shah in Congress to protect access to healthcare for our veterans and make life more affordable for American families.”

AGGE Local 102 represents staff at the Lyons VA Medical Center in Bernardsville.

Shah, a triple board-certified physician who works as an ICU physician at RWJBarnabas Health, held positions in the Obama and Biden administrations.
