June 16, 2026 – State Senator Jim Tomes (District 49) picked up another
endorsement for re-election when he received the backing of the Indiana State
AFL-CIO for the 2026 General Election. The Labor organization’s President and
Secretary Treasurer both informed Tomes earlier today that he would once again
be endorsed to return to the Indiana Statehouse.
The Indiana AFL-CIO makes endorsements for state and federal candidates. State
Senator Tomes is one of only a few Republicans to receive the organization’s
endorsement for the 2026 General Election.
“It is a tremendous honor to receive the backing of the Indiana AFL-CIO. As a
Teamster I understand the concerns of the working men and women of my district,
and have always worked hard to represent these concerns.”
Sen. Jim Tomes
