Labor for Brown...

New press release from the Brown camp:

CALIFORNIA LABOR FEDERATION, AFL-CIO, ENDORSES BROWN FOR CONGRESS
Mar 16, 2006
Democratic Congressional Candidate Charles Brown (Lt. Col., USAF Ret.) announced that the California Labor Federation, AFL-CIO, endorsed his campaign at the organization’s pre-primary endorsement convention on March 8th. The California Labor Federation is the umbrella group for labor in the state, representing more than 2 million workers in health care, manufacturing, service, retail, construction, public sector and private industry.

“I am honored by this endorsement because working families are the backbone of our economy and our communities,” noted Brown. “Unfortunately the Republican Congress has shown that it cares more about corporate CEOs and wealthy campaign contributors than ordinary Americans. Retirement security, access to quality healthcare, well supported public schools, good paying jobs and fair trade are not special interests---they are the people’s interests, and will be among my top priorities as the 4th District’s next Congressman.”

“In the military, as a teacher and as a law enforcement professional, Charlie has stood up for hard working Americans, and we are proud to stand with him,” added Sacramento Central Labor Council Executive Secretary Bill Camp. “It’s time for new direction in Washington that puts the needs of working Americans first---and his name is Charlie Brown.”

Charles Brown, Lt. Col. USAF Ret., spent 26 years in the U.S. Air Force, and is a former public school teacher. He is currently employed by the Roseville Police Department, and is a Democratic Candidate for California’s 4th Congressional Seat. www.brown4congress.org.


Military, education, and law enforcement? Anti-corporate, pro-populist? Can we get some apple pie with that? Things are looking up for CA-04...
