Endorsements for the "Labor Candidate"

We've quickly picked up the "labor candidate" label. With so few pro-labor candidates running, I am the only union-side labor attorney running for City Council and one of a handful who has ever served a union.  Our work with organized labor as a Chief of Staff in the Assembly, as Executive Director of New Roosevelt, and in the year since we launched our campaign has earned us endorsement letters from Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1179Boilermakers Local Lodge No. 5Communication Workers of America Local 1101, and Utility Workers Union of America (UWUA) Local 1-2, which you can find at KallosForCouncil.com/Endorsements with coverage in Crain's Insider and the Daily News, and with many more to come.

 

We've also continued our trend as the only candidate to hold substantive events, with a discussion on "Labor and the 2013 Elections: Organizing for the 21st Century" featuring former Deputy Comptroller Barbara Mehlsack, a partner at Gorlick, Kravitz and Listhaus, P.C.  Video of the full discussion is available below or online at KallosForCouncil.com/video.
