Napa-Solano Central Labor Council – Endorsements – General Election 2024

                                                The Napa-Solano Central Labor Council (AFL-CIO), representing workers across both Napa and Solano Counties and from all walks of life, has confirmed its endorsements for the General Election in November 2024. 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 Napa-Solano Building Trades Council. These unions represent workers from across all parts of the local economy and community, from the public sector to construction, manufacturing to teachers, healthcare, the service sector, and beyond.

     Following in-depth interviews and the use of extensive, substantive questionnaires, these candidates were evaluated based on their understanding and support of workers’ issues. We would also like to thank all the candidates interested in learning about and partnering with working families by coming before our affiliates to discuss their visions for the future. A series of ballot and bond measures have also been 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 identified as the most supportive of workers.

    At the national-level, the AFL-CIO, as the federation representing most national-level unions and of which the Napa-Solano Central Labor Council is a local affiliate, has endorsed Kamala Harris for President of the United States. The labor movement stands firm in its commitment to building a national and local agenda to support all working people. Through the coming election and over the next generation, the labor movement will continue its efforts to build an economy and society that works for all while protecting and strengthening the democratic form of government.

     Going forward, we are excited to work to elect pro-worker candidates across both Solano and Napa Counties. We will be talking with workers and members of the broader public as we fight to establish governing majorities who are ready to pursue growth that uplifts and empowers all workers and their communities alike.
