I’m honored to announce today that I have received the endorsement of 32BJ SEIU in my race for reelection as County Legislator for District 15. 32BJ SEIU's presence in New York dates back over 100 years in which time they amassed over 80,000 union members. This diverse union is made up of building janitors, security officers, window cleaners, theater and stadium cleaners, and public school workers among other professions.
I have known many members and organizers of 32BJ SEIU, and to a person they are committed to highest standard of work most notably during COVID, taking on essential cleaning work. Unions like 32BJ SEIU are politically engaged to ensure they can work in an active and secure jobs. Westchester county legislators do not negotiate contracts directly, but we support the standards of work that 32BJ SEIU works for--things like paid sick leave. 32BJ SEIU's endorsement comes as recognition of my commitment through my first term to support jobs that can support a family.
I look forward to continue the work I started in a second term. Vote on November 2nd!
Democrat Westchester County Legislator Ruth Walter 15th District.
