By Bryan Bissell, PolitickerWA.com Reporter
Calvin GoingsThe Pierce County Central Labor Council, an umbrella organization made up of 92 affiliates that represent more than 34,000 union members in Pierce County from unions such as the Aerospace Machinists, AFSCME and the Teamsters, has given Calvin Goings its sole endorsement for Pierce County Executive, the campaign announced today.
"Calvin Goings has spent 17 years fighting for the issues that matter to working families," said PCCLC Secretary and Treasurer Patty Rose, "he is an energetic and responsive public servant."
Goings touted his jobs plan as integral to the endorsement, which was given to him over Democrat Pat McCarthy.
"I am honored to have the support of organized labor," Goings added. "Working together we can move Pierce County in a more prosperous direction."
