The Napa-Solano Central Labor Council (AFL-CIO), representing workers across both Napa and Solano Counties, has confirmed Early Endorsements for the General Election in November 2024. These endorsements were given to candidates running for elected offices in which they have always previously been endorsed by the Labor movement. The candidates listed below were interviewed by the United Workers for Local Government, which consists of representatives from the Napa-Solano Central Labor Council and the Napa-Solano Building Trades Council, as well as workers from across all parts of the local economy, from the public sector to construction, and from manufacturing to teachers, nurses, and the service sector.
Following in-depth interviews and the use of extensive questionnaires, these candidates were evaluated based on their track record of support for workers’ issues. Additionally, ballot measures in the City of Napa (Measure G) and the City of Benicia (Measure F, also known as the Save Our Streets measure) were evaluated and endorsed based on their impact on workers and our broader communities. After the completion of the interviews, representatives of the various unions deliberated and voted upon the candidates and local measures.
Over the coming weeks, the Napa-Solano Central Labor Council will be interviewing candidates in all other races across these two counties as we advocate for workers and communities in the 2024 General Election.
The following candidates have received Early Endorsements from the Napa-Solano Central Labor Council.
