What I believe in and What I will work for.

The rank and file members should run our Union. This means our elected union leaders should take their direction from the membership and not act like bosses. As your secretary/treasurer I will listen to your concerns, will do my best to represent you and work hard to keep our Union united. We need more democracy in our Union, not less. If you don’t get involved by participating in your Union programs, then you risk the chance to lose labor benefits we all enjoy today.

I want to take this opportunity to thank you, the rank and file, for the support the past 24 years. It has been a great honor to serve you as a Full-Time Officer. Again, I ask for your continued support in this up-coming election. This is your Union- a democratic union. Your voice will be heard only if you vote and get involved!
