RESULTS on our Endorsements for June 2012 Election

Political action and endorsement of candidates are a natural part of union activity. As union members we live in the neighborhoods, worry about the community and understand how teamwork makes life better for us and others. There is terrific power in pulling our diverse backgrounds and viewpoints together to endorse candidates that, if elected, will carry our priorities forward.

Elections bring to us great responsibility in choosing whom to endorse. The MBCLC held forums and interviewed candidates for possible endorsement. The following candidates and measures received more than a 2/3 vote from the MBCLC Delegates and are hereby endorsed by the Monterey Bay Central Labor Council. 

Questions may be directed to Political Coordinator Glen Schaller at 831-325-8575 or political@mbclc.org.
