We received this welcomed news this afternoon and thought you would all be gleaming from ear to ear to hear it too.
AFSCME District
Council 88
Endorses Lamont McClure for County Executive
Dear Friends:
I was thrilled earlier this week to get word that I received the
endorsement of AFSCME District Council 88. This organization has a membership
of 15,000 here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Over 2,000 of those members
live in Northampton County. Many of them are the dedicated and hardworking
employees of the Northampton County government.
AFSCME and their leadership have acknowledged what the local
media and community activists have come to know about me. I was and remain the
leader in the ongoing fight to keep Gracedale under the watchful eye of the
county. We have seen the threats to Gracedale are still ever present and this
endorsement further validates that I am the best candidate to lead Northampton
County forward.
I promise to continue to work and fight for what is right and in
the best interests of the citizens of Northampton County. I will not let you
down and will continue to fight for you and for Gracedale.
I need your vote on May 21st, and need you to tell your friends
about my campaign. We have some great momentum and there are more exciting
announcements coming as we move toward this primary election.
I appreciate AFSCME's endorsement and all the support I have
received from citizens like you as we move towards the primary election May
21st.
Sincerely,
Lamont McClure

I think it is great the AFSME endorsed Lamont McClure but I hope they also endorse some county council candidates. If they put all their eggs in one basket and that basket loses, at least they have some friends.
ReplyDeleteIf they decide to sit out the ocunty council canidates, maybe the council candidates will sit out AFSME when push comers to shove.
