Operating Engineers Local 3 Endorses Aaron Ford for Governor
Today, Attorney General Aaron Ford announced that Operating Engineers Local 3 endorsed his campaign for governor.
“I’m proud to have the endorsement of Operating Engineers Local 3,” 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. And I’ll sign pro-worker legislation that makes life easier for hardworking Nevadans fighting to get ahead.”
“Operating Engineers Local 3 is proud to endorse Aaron Ford for Governor,” said Dan Reding, Business Manager of Operating Engineers Local 3. “Attorney General Ford has 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’s campaign is supported by a broad and growing coalition of elected leaders, labor, education, and advocacy organizations – including Nevada’s entire Democratic federal delegation and a majority of state legislators. Ford has also been endorsed by CWA Local 9413, IBEW 401, UAW Region 6, Nevada State Educators Association, Washoe Educators Association, Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, Reproductive Freedom for All, and End Citizens United.
