After starting the week off nursing a dog bite, state senate candidate Jeff Smith received some welcomed news a couple of days later. His campaign today announced the endorsement of three of the area's largest labor unions. Labels: State_Senate
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters Joint Council #13, the United Auto Workers Region #5, and the Communications Workers of America Local #6320 all declared their support for Smith, according to a press release from his campaign.
Sam Simon, Smith's campaign manager, said his candidate now has far more labor support than any candidate in the race, despite the fact that he is running against several sitting and former legislators.
Smith is running in the August 8 Democratic primary against State Reps Amber Boykins, Yaphett El-Amin, former State Rep. Derio Gambaro, and former Ald. Kenny Jones.
