BUILDING TRADES ENDORSE CORCORAN
Unions from Across America
Expected to Focus on Campaign
St. Louis – The St. Louis Building and Construction Trades Council announce that they have voted to endorse Representative Michael G. Corcoran (D-St. Ann) in his bid for the 24th State Senate seat.
“Mike Corcoran will be more than just a vote in the State Senate,” said Council President Michael R. Mahler. “Mike knows the issues of working men and women because he is one of them. He is a member of the labor family first and a politician second. I think we can depend on Mike to do what is right for working families.”
“The members of the Building Trades are my Brothers and Sisters,” said Corcoran. “When I think of my Brother, I think of someone I protect and who is willing to fight for me. Organized Labor is seeing challenges like never before. I will be a Senator who will vote for what our families need and stand up to STOP the things that take our jobs. I am seeking the State Senate for one clear reason: To create and protect jobs. It’s my responsibility, and I accept it.” <READ MORE>
