Frederick, MD – Today, the Mid Atlantic Pipe Trades Association announced its endorsement of Congressman David Trone’s reelection campaign. This is Trone’s second labor endorsement this week and the ninth for the campaign so far— a clear signal that working people and unions see him as their champion in Washington.

“It is a tremendous honor to have the endorsement of the Mid Atlantic Pipe Trades Association,” said Congressman David Trone. “These skilled tradespeople are the backbone of our communities, doing the essential work we depend on in our daily lives. Working people need a fierce advocate in Washington, and we’re ready to fight for them in Congress.”

“Maryland needs leaders in Congress who don’t just talk about supporting working people—they show up,” said T Smalls, President, Mid-Atlantic Pipe Trades Association and Business Manager, Plumbers and Gasfitters Local 5. “David Trone has stood on picket lines, fought for fair wages, and championed apprenticeships that give the next generation a real shot at success. He knows what it takes to build a strong workforce, and if you stand with working people, vote for David Trone.”

The Mid Atlantic Pipe Trades Association is a collaboration of local unions serving over 8,000 skilled tradespeople in the DMV. The Mid Atlantic Pipe Trades Association joins a growing list of unions supporting Trone’s campaign, including IBEW Local 24, IBEW Local 26, IBEW Local 307, IBEW Local 1200, SMART International, SMART Local 100, IAFF Local 3666, and UNITE HERE Local 25.

David Trone served Maryland’s 6th District in Congress from 2019-2025. He is running for re-election in Congress to fight Trump and his MAGA agenda, protect our neighbors and our rights, and end the tariffs that are causing prices to keep going up for Maryland families.
