Laborers’ Union Local 169 Endorses Aaron Ford for Governor
Today, Attorney General Aaron Ford announced that Laborers’ Union Local 169 endorsed his campaign for governor. Local 169 represents over 1,200 workers in Northern Nevada, primarily in construction, including construction craft laborers, plaster hod carriers and brick hod carriers.
“I’m proud to have the endorsement of Laborers’ Union Local 169,” 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, the right to retire with dignity, and continue pushing back against Trump’s reckless tariffs that are decimating construction jobs. And I’ll sign pro-worker legislation that makes life easier for hardworking Nevadans fighting to get ahead.”
“Laborers’ Union Local 169 is proud to endorse Aaron Ford for Governor,” said Eloy Jara, Laborers’ Union Local 169. “As Attorney General, Ford led efforts to expand collective bargaining rights and worked tirelessly to protect prevailing wage laws and project labor agreements. He has demonstrated a clear and consistent record of delivering for Nevada’s workers and working families. Ford has committed to being the most pro-labor governor in our state’s history and we’re proud to support his candidacy.”

He passed legislation to crack down on price-fixing of essential goods like rent and groceries.
He’s prosecuted those who have scammed our most vulnerable, including Nevada seniors.
As Senate Majority Leader, Ford led the effort to expand collective bargaining rights and worked to protect prevailing wage and project labor agreements.
