Oregon AFL-CIO Makes Early Endorsements in Select Races

The Oregon AFL-CIO Committee on Political Education (COPE), representing over 225,000 workers across all sectors of Oregon's economy and from every corner of the state, gathered today to discuss endorsements in various races.

Citing the importance of supporting candidates who will not just vote for, but who will advocate for issues that affect working people and help rebuild the middle class in Oregon, the COPE voted to endorse in four races.

Endorsements were made for:

Suzanne Bonamici for Congressional District 1

Brad Avakian for Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries

Jennifer Williamson for House District 36

Ben Unger for House District 29

Races in which no endorsement was made will be taken up in early March.
