PAC backs slate of Whitney, Strawbridge, Ioakimedes

United Workers for Local Government (funded by trade unions and police & fire unions)
(a coalition of many labor unions in Napa and Solano Counties)
Headquarters in Vallejo www.nsworkers.org

Many of the unions in this PAC are construction trades. Others are police, fire, teamsters, public employees, teachers.

Two of the four mailers stress police and fire safety.

Expenditures (from 9/26 to 10/15) in support of
Whitney -- $7,500
Strawbridge -- $8,500
Ioakimedes -- $8,300
TOTOAL = $24,300

Contributions to the PAC from the unions are much larger (approx. $134,000).
Expenditures were distributed to races in Benicia, Fairfield, Vallejo.

I looked up many of the individual Unions on Secretary of State’s website: www.cal-access.ss.ca.gov
Looked through the unions’ electronic filings to see the addresses of individual union member contributors.
Could not find ANYONE with Benicia address.
