AFSCME Council 18

Today we commemorate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The movement he helped form is far from finished we honor his legacy by continuing the fight for racial and economic justice.

I'm honored to have the endorsement of our @afscme18 workers. These hard-working men and women deliver for our communities and are there rain or shine. Thank you for your support and your endorsement.

Huge shoutout to all of our public workers across the district and beyond and @AFSCME and @afscme18 for representing our state & local workers & ensuring their rights and needs are front and center. ✊

Happy Inauguration Day. Here’s to celebrating 2021 with a pro-worker agenda!

Dr. #MLK Jr. believed violence "destroys community & makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue." We must recommit to his vision & continue to fight those who want to roll back decades of progress on racial & economic justice. #MLKDay ✊

What do a $15 hr minimum wage, student loan debt reform, investing in education, strong labor protections, and health care for all have in common? They’re all policies I’m honored to work on as a new member of the U.S. House Committee on Education and Labor!

This holiday season, millions are w/out loved ones because of this pandemic. There is hope on the horizon, but states lack the funding needed to distribute the vaccine while public service workers are being laid off. Call 1-888-981-9704 & demand your senator #FundtheFrontLines!

Public service workers stepped up when we needed them most and risked their lives to save ours. Now, more than 1.2 million of them are unemployed because states, cities, towns and schools desperately need aid. Tell your senators to #FundtheFrontLines. We can't wait any longer!

Senators must fund the frontlines & pass aid for states, cities, towns & schools before leaving for the elections. Activate your circles & our Nevada Senators now and tell them to #FundtheFrontLines 1-888-981-9704

States, cities, towns and schools NEED this federal aid to keep our front-line heroes on the frontlines, beat the virus and reopen the economy. Join our tweetstorm TODAY at 2 PM ET for what could be the final push to get the Senate to #FundtheFrontLines.

According to Mark Zandi, Chief Economist at Moody’s Analytics, the returns on investing in public services during this crisis are clear. As this economic recession deepens, “this is a very effective way to support the economy.” #FundtheFrontLines @SenCapito @Sen_JoeManchin

What will it take for America to beat this pandemic and reopen our economy? A public service army. We can’t lay off the very workers who can save us. The next relief bill from Congress MUST have state and local aid. #FundtheFrontLines

“There’s no more effective way to help the economy and to help these states and support these jobs than providing federal government aid to state and local governments." — Mark Zandi, Chief Economist, Moody’s Analytics. Tell your senators to #fundthefrontlines.

I am so proud to have earned the endorsement of @afscme18! I look forward to working together on behalf of New Mexico's working families. @AFSCME #nmpol

That’s why I’m so honored to have Pres @BarackObama’s support and trust as we work every day to protect and build on his legacy in New Mexico and create real opportunities for families across the state. Read more: bit.ly/2NeRlq0 #nmpol
