Throughout her tenure in the Arizona House, Ms. Powers was a fierce advocate for families in Southern Arizona and fought for the well-being of working people.

Ms. Powers' legislative experience, knowledge, strong community support, and her responsiveness to constituents make her an outstanding candidate for this position.

The affiliated unions of the Pima Area Labor Federation proudly and unanimously endorse Pamela Powers for the appointment to the Ward 6 Tucson City Council seat recently vacated by Councilman Steve Kozachik.
