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 Primary Election in March 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, 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, substantive questionnaires, these candidates were evaluated based on their understanding and support of workers’ issues. We would also like to thank all the candidates that showed respect for working families by coming before our affiliates to discuss their vision for the future. Additionally, a ballot measure in Benicia was evaluated and endorsed based on its 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.
Finally, candidates for the Solano County Democratic Central Committee were endorsed based on their understanding and advocacy for working-class communities and the necessary coalitions to support working people.
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.
