CLC Endorsements for June 2018 Election
Labor Siblings, at this month’s CLC Delegates meeting we voted on endorsements in the Napa and Solano County Primary Elections and for recommendations to the California Labor Federation for the National and State Offices.
The Napa Solano Central Labor Council is proud to announce that we have endorsed Tom Ferrara for Solano County Sheriff! This was the only race that our affiliates agreed on for an outright endorsement and we congratulate Tom on the trust our members have in him for this critical position. We would also like to thank both Daryl Snedeker and Dan Marshall for taking the time to sit down with our committee.
Our delegates also voted to on a “No Recommendation” in both the Supervisor Races in Solano County leaving the affiliated Unions to endorse who their members may favor in this June Primary. We also voted to support and congratulate the following candidates for office that were unopposed:
- Lisette Estrella- Henderson- Solano County School Superintendent
- Krishna Abrams- Solano County District Attorney
- Mark Tonnesen- Solano County Assessor
In the Federal and State offices the delegate body voted for the following recommendations be forwarded to the California Labor Federation for consideration at the Convention in April for official endorsements.
- Recommend endorsing Celia Aguiar-Curry for AD 4 to the California Labor Federation
- Recommend endorsing Tim Grayson for AD 14 to the California Labor Federation
- Recommend endorsing Mike Thompson for CD 3 to the California Labor Federation
- Recommend endorsing John Garamendi for CD 5 to the California labor federation.
- Recommended tabling the endorsement for Jim Frazier AD 11 to the California Labor Federation.
Napa Elections: In the Napa County Primaries, we voted to make No Recommendation in the Supervisor District 3 Race.
We also voted to support and congratulate the following candidates who appeared before the Committee and are unopposed:
- Alison Haley for Napa District AttorneyJohn Robertson for Sheriff
- Barbara Nemko for Superintendent of Public Instruction
- Brad Wagenknecht for Supervisor District 1
- John Tuteur for Napa County Assessor-Recorder & County Clerk
On behalf of the Napa Solano Central Labor Council we also want to thank the affiliate members who took the time to sit through the interviews and deliberation Process. We had 27 members participating in the interviews and without the support of their affiliated unions we would not be able to have a process for identifying, educating and supporting candidates that we can all agree will fight for working men and women in Napa and Solano Counties!
