Dear Sisters and Brothers,
The election is just around the corner – June 14, 2016 is Primary Election Day with early voting available from May 28 – June 10.
We’ve enclosed the Culinary Union’s recommendations for the primary election.
We select endorsements with the well-being of Union members and the future of the labor movement in mind.
For our recommendations for Congress, State Legislature, and County Commission, we review the voting records of current elected officials and the opinions and philosophies of new and old candidates.
We all know that politicians will often say anything to get elected, so we review
candidates’ records and look for people who put their words into action.
For our recommendations in the judicial races, we consult with attorneys who represent Union members and the Culinary in court. We rely on first-hand reports of how these candidates have treated Union members in legal cases they have had in Nevada’s court system.
For this primary election, we followed almost all recommendations from the Central Labor Council. All endorsed candidates appeared before an interview panel and answered tough questions about how they’ll fight for union members and their families.
Nevada’s primary elections are “closed” so you can only vote for candidates running in your registered party.
We encourage members of the Culinary and Bartenders Unions to exercise their right to vote (and vote early!) by participating in the upcoming election. Now is our time to let politicians
know we are engaged and active.
If you have questions about our recommended candidates or the election process, please feel free to call the Union’s Political Office: (702) 386-5279.
Fraternally,
Geoconda Argüello-Kline
Secretary-Treasurer President
