Arizona AFL-CIO endorses (almost) straight Democratic ticket

The Arizona chapter of the AFL-CIO, the country's largest federation of unions, released its list of endorsements in congressional and state races late Thursday night. It is a list that heavily favors Democratic candidates.

While some Democrats were left out - such as state House candidates Lamont Lovejoy in Legislative District 10 and Eve Nuñez in LD12 - only one Republican made it onto the list: Jon Altmann, running for state representative in LD11.

All eight Democratic congressional candidates in the state, plus the three Democrats running for Arizona Corporation Commission, were endorsed by the Arizona AFL-CIO as well.

Rebekah Friend, executive director of the 165,000-plus member organization, wrote in the announcement:

"These candidates share our vision of what is important to Arizona's working families. These candidates support the issues that Arizona's unions fight for everyday. Issues such as the Workers Right to Join a Union, access to affordable healthcare, and a stable and improved economy, and quality education."

Friend added, "There are many issues on the table that impact working families, and it is crucial for the future of Arizona that we elect those who are going to step up to the plate and fight for the issues that will move Arizona forward. We're convinced that these candidates will do just that.

"We intend to put substantial resources forward to educate union members and their families on the views of our endorsed candidates and then ensure their successful election."
