On October 29, 2026, just five days before the mid-term election, the Union Hall parking lot was packed to standing room only on a beautiful fall evening. Hundreds of supporters turned out to rally behind a slate of key candidates. When the campaign's signature big blue bus pulled up, the crowd's excitement made it clear who they were waiting to see.

PA Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis kicked off the speeches, highlighting the administration's legislative achievements over the past four years. He then passed the microphone to Janelle Stelson, who is running for Congress in Pennsylvania's 10th District. Stelson delivered an energetic speech focused on defending Medicaid, improving healthcare access, and championing Labor Unions.

Governor Josh Shapiro closed out the night to a roaring crowd. He began by thanking Teamsters Local 776 for hosting the event, stating clearly, "Every man and woman of organized labor, I will always have your back!" He followed with a firm commitment to the state's workers: "As long as I'm your governor, Pennsylvania will never be a right-to-work state!"

Speakers reminded the crowd that on November 3rd, Pennsylvania has a historic opportunity to capture a legislative "trifecta," holding the governorship, the state Senate, and the state House simultaneously, for the first time since 1993.
