North Bay Labor Council Makes Endorsements in Marin County City Council Races

The North Bay Labor Council sent questionnaires to candidates running in the 3 city council races in Marin County, occurring November 5th, 2019. Larkspur technically has an election this November as well, however there were only 2 candidates for 2 seats.

Out of 14 candidates, 11 chose to participate in our endorsement process and 7 were chosen for endorsement.

Upon receiving and reviewing their questionnaires, interviews were scheduled and conducted by the NBLC interview committee. Recommendations were made and later ratified by the Council Executive Committee and delegates.

Candidates were chosen on their ability to understand issues of Labor and working people. Issues such as worker safety, their position on minimum wage, being treated with dignity on the job, position on Project Labor Agreements, etc. were considered. This is not to say all endorsed candidates agree with every issue with which the Council is concerned, but rather we look for someone we can talk to and work with. While many of our issues and concerns were shared by these candidates, they were chosen based on their ability to be open and trustworthy.

If you live in any of these cities, please vote for our endorsed candidates.
