Sean Coffey, one of the five Democratic AG contenders, had a full day of labor-related events in the Capital Region today.

He started off this morning by meeting local union leaders at the Clarion in Albany. He then went to meet with steel workers at a picket line outside Albany Medical Center, and wrapped up at Momentive Performance Materials in Waterford today to attend the “Rally for a Just Contract” for IUE/CWA 81359.

A Coffey campaign aide who sent this photo noted the candidate’s father was a union carpenter for 50 years. Coffey wears his father’s carpenter pin on his lapel almost every day. (He also has a small US Navy medal that I noticed while chatting with him at the Democratic convention in Rye).

Coffey also be stopping by the YNN studios to record an interview with me that will air on “Capital Tonight” at 8 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.

He’ll be unveiling a stringent new legislative ethics proposal and also discussing his opposition to any AG candidate accpeting either the labor-backed Working Families Party line or the state Independence Party line, since both as under investigation.
