San Francisco Building and Construction Trades Council Endorses Lisa Feldstein for District 5 Supervisor - Feldstein’s Pro-Housing Land Use Record Wins Key Labor Endorsement
San Francisco District 5: Key endorsement for Lisa Feldstein, supervisorial candidate.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 23, 2004 –- Lisa Feldstein won a key
endorsement in her race for the Board of Supervisors by securing the official
support of the San Francisco Building and Construction Trades Council. The
Council, which represents San Francisco’s construction trade unions, announced
on Friday that it was throwing its support behind Feldstein to win the seat
being vacated by Matt Gonzalez.
“Lisa is the woman for the job. As a
former Planning Commissioner and an affordable housing advocate, she has real
track record and proven expertise in land use, housing and economic
development,” said Stan Warren, Secretary Treasurer of the Building and
Construction Trades Council. “While other candidates may talk about protecting
the rights of working people, Lisa is labor union activist who has always fought
for responsible jobs. She’s fair, she’s tough, and we know she’ll fight to keep
San Francisco’s economy strong and affordable for the men and women who live
here.”
“I am proud to have the endorsement of the Building Trades
Council,” said Feldstein. “I understand the importance of keeping a strong
economy in San Francisco and of providing San Francisco workers with decent
wages and benefits, which are issues the construction unions have always
championed.”
“We need to plan for our city’s future very carefully, and
we also need to make sure that the workers who keep this city going can actually
afford to live in the great City they help build. As Supervisor for District 5,
I will continue to work with the Building Trades Council to make sure that city
legislation and planning activities serve the needs of all residents,” added
Feldstein.
