Steelworkers back Mitakides
Democrat Jane Mitakides, who is challenging U.S. Rep. Mike Turner, R-Centerville for Congress this year, received the endorsement of the United Steelworkers on Friday, June 27, according to a statement released by Mitakides’ campaign.
“Our local and international chapters of United Steelworkers have given our total endorsement and support for Jane,” said Earl Sheppard, Political Director of the local Dayton United Steelworkers chapter. “We are ready to mobilize all across Jane’s four counties. People are fired up, because we need a change.”
Sheppard called Mitakides “a businesswoman who understands the needs of middle class families.”
Mitakides welcomed the endorsement, saying it’ll bring votes as well as dozens of volunteers, block walkers and phone bankers.
The United Steelworkers represent over one million people internationally.
