Today, the Laborers’ International Union Of North America (LIUNA) Local 720 announced their endorsement of John Hickenlooper to be a fighter for Colorado’s working families in the U.S. Senate.
“In this time of crisis, John Hickenlooper is the right person to send to Washington to fight for Colorado workers,” said Anthony Trujillo, LIUNA Local 720 Business Manager. “Senator Cory Gardner has failed Colorado’s working families, instead siding with Washington special interests and wealthy corporations. It’s time for a change. We’re proud to back John Hickenlooper for U.S. Senate — he will help us build back from the Coronavirus pandemic by investing in our infrastructure, work to pass comprehensive immigration reform, and stand up for Colorado’s workers.”
“I’m honored to have the support of the Laborers’ International Union of North America,” said John Hickenlooper “After COVID, the only way we are going to build back stronger than ever is by building an economy that works for everyone, not just for those at the top. Working families are struggling, and Washington is failing them. It’s time for a change in leadership, and I look forward to being part of that change to create opportunities and protect workers.”
LIUNA 720 joins a growing coalition of organized labor groups backing Hickenlooper, including Colorado AFL-CIO, Colorado Professional Firefighters, Denver Firefighters 858, Pipefitters Local 208, Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters, Colorado Education Association, and the United Auto Workers.
