A Pennsylvania Republican House candidate is trying to win over union workers in a critical race in this must-win state.
Voters in Pennsylvania's northeast corner will help to decide which party controls the House of Representatives.
"Just because I have an 'R' next to my name doesn't mean that I'm not for collective bargaining," Bresnahan said at a local bar recently, before ticking through part of his resume: Chairman of the Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee, which helps train electrical apprentices and workers, and health wellness and annuity trustee, which ensure union members receive health and retirement benefits.
NBC News polling data shows that over the past decade, union households have increasingly favored Republicans in both presidential and congressional races. A majority of union households still prefer Democrats, but in close races like Bresnahan's – which is rated a toss-up by Cook Political Report – a few thousand votes can make the difference.
Bresnahan is relying less on major endorsements and more on appealing to individual union members, like the ones he has worked with through his membership with the Bresnahan is running for office for the first time this year after a career at his family's business, Kuharchik Construction, which he joined asto a Canadian private equity firm. Bresnahan has pushed back, saying he still is an owner in the company and that the move ultimately created more jobs.
