Today, Attorney General Aaron Ford announced that Ironworkers Local 433 endorsed his campaign for governor. Ironworkers Local 433 proudly represents over 5,000 skilled ironworkers across Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and the surrounding areas. 

“I’m proud to have the endorsement of Ironworkers Local 433,” said Attorney General Aaron Ford. “Nevada workers created the middle class. It’s time they had a governor who will fight for them and work to make life more affordable. As Governor, I will work side-by-side with union workers to demand better wages, good health care, and the right to retire with dignity. I’m proud of the work Ironworkers are currently doing to build the Hard Rock Resort and other construction projects that are bringing good paying jobs to Nevada. And I’ll sign pro-worker legislation that makes life easier for hardworking Nevadans fighting to get ahead.”

“Ironworkers Local 433 is proud to endorse Aaron Ford for Governor,” said Frederick Visneki Business Agent Ironworkers Local 433 Las Vegas Nevada. “Attorney General Ford has championed Nevada workers his entire career in public office.
