Endorsement Announcement: The Napa Solano Central Labor Council is proud to announce the endorsement of two long time supporters of Working Families. At our June Delegates we voted overwhelmingly to endorse Christina Strawbridge for Benicia Mayor and Hakeem Brown for Mayor in Vallejo. Our membership feels the continued support of our members, their Families and our Community Allies earns them the support of our 52 affiliated Unions. We will work tirelessly to promote their shared values and use our collective voice to educate the public as to why they deserve to lead as Mayors of Benicia and Vallejo.
