State Sen. Brad Pfaff (D-Onalaska) picked up three significant union endorsements this week in his campaign in the Democratic primary for Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional district.

The Wisconsin Education Association Council (WEAC), which represents educators and other related staff, recommended Pfaff to its members. They were joined by the National Education Association (NEA), its parent organization at the national level. Pfaff heralded both groups’ endorsement by pledging to “fight to ensure every child in Wisconsin receives a world-class education” and to “invest in our public schools and pay our educators fairly.”

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 2150 also endorsed Pfaff’s candidacy. The union represents over 5,000 workers in the electrical industry and is the largest IBEW chapter in the state. Bob Stone, the local’s business manager, said that Pfaff would be “the fighter that Wisconsinites need in Washington.”
