Her focus on building partnerships to help prepare young people for the next generation of build and construction trade opportunities is even more critical now as we recover from the pandemic and create a stronger future for working people.

She deserves out vote.”

We ask you to join us in our effort to re-elect Stephanie Bowman, so she can continue to work with us as we continue to empower both the trucking community and the Community at large.”
