As you know, there is much at stake for working people in this year in the upcoming Gubernatorial and State Legislative election. Electing labor friendly candidates at all levels of government is crucial to achieving a working families agenda for our members.

We hope to build upon our past success and continue to expand our program. These goals can only be achieved by a well financed and resourced Central Labor Council with the solidarity of the entire labor movement.

We hope your union will be able to attend the Cocktail Reception and contribute to our COPE Program. We look forward to your support and towards another successful election year for working families.
