Congressman Brady Endorsed by Thousands of Working Men and Women

PHILADELPHIA – Congressman Brady met with the leaders of seven local unions from AFSCME District Council 33 today to accept the endorsement of the thousands of working men and women they represent.

Brady was endorsed by:

* AFSCME DC 33 Local 488 – Health Care Workers

“This City would not survive without the hard work of these dedicated public servants,” Brady said. “Everyday they witness the challenges that Philadelphia faces, and they understand what type of leadership is necessary to turn this City around. I am honored to accept their endorsement.”

“All of the locals endorsing Congressman Brady today know what an important race this is and how important it is for us and our families to support the man who has fought for working men and women his entire life,” said Local 159 President Lorenzo North. “Our members will work day and night until the polls close on primary day to be sure Bob Brady becomes the next mayor of Philadelphia.”

As the next Mayor of Philadelphia Bob Brady will bring hope back to our city by fighting crime, investing in education and creating opportunity for all Philadelphians. www.bobbradyworks.com
