Delivering for working families
We’re proud to announce that over the last few days, Rex’s unwavering support for working families — and his track record of delivering results for them — has earned several key labor endorsements:
- Columbia Pacific Building Trades Council
- IBEW 48
- Northwest Oregon Labor Council
- Portland Firefighters Local 43
- International Union of Painters and Allied Trades
- Joint Council of Teamsters No. 37
We’re honored to have their support — if you know anyone who’s a leader or member of these organizations, drop them a note thanking them for their vote of confidence. These important organizations know that Rex Burkholder is the only candidate who can bring workers and business leaders together to create living wage jobs — jobs for the 21st century, preserving the region we love and positioning us at the forefront of the emerging green economy.
As Bob Tacket of the NW Oregon Labor Council told us,
“The NW Oregon Labor Council and its affiliates voted to endorse Rex Burkholder for Metro President because of his leadership for working families and his vision for economic growth in our region. Rex knows that the current Columbia River Crossing is unsustainable in every sense of the word, and it must be fixed. The project as Rex envisions it will not only reduce pollution and maintain healthy neighborhoods, it will create more than 26,000 jobs over 5 years, providing important job opportunities for our members.”
Working families stand behind Rex as the only candidate who can deliver on a sustainable economy.
