Sen. Vicki Walker announced the recent endorsement of three unions in her campaign for Secretary of State.
Walker, who is facing off against Sens. Kate Brown and Rick Metsger, garnered the support of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 555, the Oregon State Building and Construction Trades Council, and the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 757.
The Building Trades Council stated that the "skilled union tradesmen and women appreciate [Walker’s] willingness to listen and act on their issues."
