Heinrich has been committed to creating jobs and putting the interests of middle class workers and their families first since his election to Congress in 2008.

"Heinrich will continue to push for more jobs in our state," said Walter Maestas, Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local Union 492 in Albuquerque. "He has been firmly committed to working families and 100 percent behind the issues that are important to us. We will work to get as many voters as possible to choose his name on the ballot in 2012."

Upon request Heinrich visits the local union to meet with Teamster members, learn about how the economy is affecting them and to assure them that he is a friend who will work on their behalf in the Senate.

"A vote for Martin Heinrich will be a solid vote for workers' rights," Maestas said.
