ELECTION NIGHT YIELDED BIG VICTORIES
FOR LOCAL 1014 MEMBERS
Local 1014 endorsed and supported many candidates and issues in the Tuesday June 7th Primary Election and we were very effective in helping shape the future of the elected officials who have an impact on our membership and our issues.
We used our influence and strength to work hard in National, State and Local Elections to get results that landed 100% of our candidates and issues in the win column!
No races were more important than elections for our County Board of Supervisors and Mark Ridley Thomas, who we worked so hard to help put in office ran unopposed and secured another term in office.

We endorsed Janice Hahn to replace Don Knabe in the 4th District and she won handily but will be in a runoff in the November General Election. We also endorsed Kathryn Barger to replace Mike Antonovich in the 5th District and she also won handily and will be in a runoff election in November. |
|
We have much to do to finish the job in November, but our efforts and influence in these two races were key to the victories. We partnered with our Sheriff's Deputies from ALADS to run a campaign for Kathryn Barger and we thank them for their alliance with us. It should be noted that their Supervisors Union PPOA did not endorse and stayed out of the race, which put the burden of the effort on ALADS and PPOA. We hope to have them on board for the General Election.

Kamala Harris, our statewide endorsed candidate for US Senator won with a large margin, and will be in the General Election against Loretta Sanchez. We will help lead the way to her victory in November. We also won in every state election with all candidates either winning outright in the primary or making it into the runoff in November. We partnered with our CPF brothers and Sisters in most state races. |
We also endorsed Carson City Measure C, a User Utility Tax extension to continue the revenue and the measure passed by a large margin. We supported Santa Clarita Community College District Measure E, to upgrade College of the Canyons Classrooms and facilities and it passed with a large margin as well. We opposed Pomona Measure Y, a digital signsiInitiative which had no provisions for monies to go to fire, but rather only to police as well as the deal was a bad deal for Pomona. This measure failed by a large margin.

Thank you to all Local 1014 Members for your continued support and our solidarity to be able to have such a powerful impact on the political action and legislation affecting our wages, hours and working conditions. We will keep you updated on the next phases of our work to ensure our endorsed candidates come out on top in the General Election in November.
In solidarity,
Local 1014 Executive Board
