Napa-Solano Central Labor Council Announces Endorsements for Elections – Times Herald Online

The Napa-Solano Central Labor Council, which represents workers in Napa and Solano counties, announced Saturday that it is endorsing the party in the early November election.

According to officials, the candidates were interviewed by the United Workers for Local Government, which includes representatives from the Napa-Solano Central Labor Council and the Napa-Solano Building Trades Council, and workers from all parts of the local economy, from the public sector to construction, and from manufacturing to teachers, nurses and the service sector.

The recommendations:

• Michael Silva, Vacaville City Council
• Trevor Macenski, Benicia City Council
• Lionel Largaespada, Benicia City Council
• Ana Petero, Fairfield-Suisun School Board
• Dr. LaTanya Young, Vallejo School Board
• Scott Sedgley, Mayor of Napa
• Beth Painter, Napa City Council, District 2
• Bernie Narvaez, District 4
• Measure G, Napa City Bond Measure

After in-depth interviews, these candidates were evaluated based on their track record of supporting worker issues. Additionally, ballot measures in the City of Napa (Measure G) and the City of Benicia (Measure F, also known as the Save Our Streets measure) were evaluated and approved based on their impact on workers and broader communities.

In the coming weeks, the Napa-Solano Central Labor Council will interview candidates for all other races in those two counties.
