Karen Receives Endorsement From AFSCME Council 4!

Karen is honored to receive the endorsement of AFSCME Council 4 in her campaign for State Representative.

For Karen, this partnership is deeply personal. Before entering public service, she spent 40 years on the front lines of healthcare, starting as a teenage nurse’s aide and working for decades as an X-ray and MRI technologist at Yale New Haven Hospital. As a former union member herself, she knows firsthand the dedication and sacrifice it takes to care for our communities.

“I am deeply grateful for AFSCME Council 4's support,” said Karen Martin. “This endorsement reflects our shared commitment to ensuring that the public employees who keep Connecticut running receive fair pay, secure retirement benefits, quality healthcare, and safe working conditions.”

AFSCME Council 4 represents public service workers across Connecticut's municipalities, schools, state agencies, and healthcare facilities. Having dedicated her life to medical care, Karen uniquely understands that strong public services depend on treating workers with dignity and giving them the resources they need to do their jobs safely.
