Plumbers & Steamfitters Transfers Funds to PAC Supporting Virginia Democrats

Plumbers & Steamfitters UA Local Union No. 110 transferred $3,455.19 to the Plumbers & Steamfitters Local Union 110 Local PAC Fund on June 4, 2026. The local union, based in Norfolk, Virginia, represents over 700 members in the plumbing, pipefitting, and HVAC trades across southeastern Virginia. This contribution adds to the resources available for the PAC’s political activities in state races.

The PAC has directed funds to multiple Democratic candidates in recent cycles. Recipients include Carnegie for Delegate, Friends of Alex Askew, Friends of Don Scott, Jessica Anderson for Virginia House of Delegates, and Simonds for Delegate. Additional support went to candidates such as Hala Ayala, Jeion Ward, Kelly Convirs-Fowler, and Martha Mugler. These distributions reflect a consistent pattern of backing Democratic office seekers in Virginia.

The PAC receives substantial backing from construction and mechanical contractors. Major contributors include Warwick Plumbing & Heating Corp, which has provided over $128,000 in recent years, along with Hampton Roads Mechanical of Va and Johnson Controls Inc. Individual members and other firms such as RS Harritan and Math Mechanical Inc also channel resources into the PAC.

National data on the broader Plumbers & Pipefitters Union shows heavy emphasis on Democratic recipients, with over 89 percent of contributions in the 2024 cycle directed to that party. Virginia-specific filings confirm the local PAC follows a similar approach, directing expenditures exclusively to Democratic campaigns and related committees in recent reports.

This financial flow from the union local to the PAC sustains political efforts aligned with Democratic priorities on labor and regulatory matters. Contractors and members contributing to the PAC thereby participate in a system that advances those same priorities through candidate support. The June 2026 transfer exemplifies ongoing union involvement in Virginia state politics favoring one party’s slate of candidates.
