I've always stood on the front lines with labor. I've organized picket lines, stood with janitors, fast food workers, and fought for $15. In Congress, I intend to continue standing with labor. I'm grateful for the support from @FlyUnionGuy and Linda Joseph.

“This is a victory for riders. An overwhelming majority want to keep @TWULocal100 Conductors on their trains. They don’t want to see subway staffing and their safety reduced. This bill addresses concerns Gov. Hochul raised when she vetoed an earlier version in the last legislative session. It’s time for the governor to stand with working people who rely on the subway instead of supporting beancounting bureaucrats and reckless automators.” @TwuSamuelsen
The state Senate on Thursday night passed a measure that would require the MTA to maintain two train operators on every subway line that currently has them. amny.com/nyc-transit/subway-…

Happy International Flight Attendants Day! As aviation’s first responders, Flight Attendants are a vital cornerstone of aviation safety. Today we recognize their distinct professionalism, exceptional service, and unwavering dedication.    More than just the public’s simplistic perception, Flight Attendants are masters of multi-tasking and highly trained. Our TWU Flight Attendants handle safety and security with attentiveness and  navigate unexpected situations with ease. Quick, capable, and always composed, you make it look much easier than it is.    Thank you for all you do!

Great news for ALL workers @GoBrightline, where the TWU represents Onboard Attendants and Lead Attendants. The federal Railroad Retirement Board has determined all Brightline workers are covered by RRB’s retirement, sick and unemployment plans, which are far more beneficial than what Brightline and the state of Florida provide. @twusamuelsen Read the full decision here: dropbox.com/scl/fi/ssomqbvv4…,

Last month, I joined the TWU for the 2026 internship program. I met with lawmakers, paritpated in strategy conversations, and assisted with the TWU COPE Conference. A strong Union is focused advocacy/education but also preparing the next generation of leaders to step up & serve.

This week, I joined over 150 TWU Members in our nations capital for the 2026 TWU Legislative and COPE Conference. Our ability to engage with our elected leaders helps advance the priorities of our Members and uplift the labor movement as a whole.

Shame! A Democratic Party Committee Chair and elected officials in Ohio are treating blue-collar transit workers in Akron like garbage, attacking their health benefits and demanding Zero Percent wage increases. Where’s the outrage from Democratic Leaders? @TheDemocrats @OHDems @ohioaflcio @SherrodBrown

Today marks the beginning of Asian-American Pacific Islander Heritage Month. AAPI communities are far-reaching and incredibly diverse, with origins spanning from East Asia to the Pacific Islands. AAPI Heritage Month affirms that these communities’ stories are essential to the American narrative, celebrating their resilience and recognizing their invaluable contributions to our nation. A Filipino Proverb says, "matibay ang walis, palibhasa'y nakabigkis,” which translates to "a broom is sturdy because its strands are tightly bound." In other words, Unity is Strength. AAPI labor leaders have always been at the forefront of building solidarity among workers across communities and building unity to create big change. The TWU proudly celebrates AAPI Heritage Month. May we all continue to recognize that diversity strengthens our Union.

2 Democratic States have redrawn, both with a mandate from the people. 5 Republicans States (soon to be 6) have redrawn without a single person getting a vote. Both sides are not the same.
BREAKING: The new Florida map has passed in the state senate — It now heads to DeSantis' desk to be signed into law!

It’s not only unconstitutional but outright wrong. Shutting out voices of voters to push your [fascist] agenda.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has released a draft congressional map ahead of the state's special redistricting session. Compared to the current map (left), the new map (right) would eliminate as many as 4 Democratic representatives - 2 in central Florida and 2 in south Florida.

New Senate Bill would extend No Tax on Overtime to all transport workers. "80,000 TWU members are currently ineligible for the overtime earnings tax break and the TWU will keep fighting this disparity. Pro-worker lawmakers are stepping up for transport workers." @TwuSamuelsen

Last week I was invited to join labor leaders from around central Florida at @MaxwellFrostFL’s Labor Leader meet & greet. Connecting with local leaders helps strengthen our advocacy and the labor movement as a whole.
