Press release from The Greater Bristol Labor Council:
The Greater Bristol Labor Council has announced their list of endorsed candidates for election to local offices in the upcoming elections in November.
The GBLC represents working men and women in the Bristol area and is affiliated with the Connecticut AFL-CIO which represents 220,000 workers in Connecticut and nearly 900 local union affiliates.
Greater Bristol Labor Council President Mike Petosa, in announcing the endorsements, said, “It is important that working men and women rally around candidates for office who are willing to stand up and fight for them.” He said this is especially important during an era when “America's middle class in under attack.”
The local Labor Council voted last week to endorse the following candidates;
Art Ward (D) – Mayor
Mike Rimcoski (R) – 1st District City Council
Cliff Block (D) – 1st District City Council
Kevin McCauley (D) – 2nd District City Council
Bruce Lydem (D) – 2nd District City Council
Frank Nicastro (D) – 3rd District City Council
Robert Merrick (R) – 3rd District City Council
The endorsement meeting was held on October 10 at Nuchie’s Restaurant in the Forrestville section of Bristol.
Petosa added, “The candidates endorsed for election this November have demonstrated their determination to fight for issues important to workers and therefore make them ideal candidates for Bristol’s working men and women.”
