California Federation of Labor Unions, AFSCME Endorse Public Educator and Former School Superintendent Amy Slavensky in Race for California’s 7th Assembly District
SACRAMENTO, CA—Today, the California Federation of Labor Unions and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) announced their endorsements of Amy Slavensky for Assembly.
These latest endorsements round out labor support from several leading labor organizations in California, including: Service Employees International Union (SEIU), United Domestic Workers (UDW), California Teachers Association (CTA), California Faculty Association (CFA), California School Employees Association (CSEA), and California Federation of Teachers (CFT).
"We are proud to endorse Amy Slavensky for Assembly District 7 because she knows through her years as an educator what working families are facing," said Lorena Gonzalez, president of the California Federation of Labor Unions. "Our 2.3 million members working in fields like education, construction, and healthcare are the backbone of California's economy, and we know that Amy is on their side and ready to fight for them in the Assembly."
"We are proud to endorse Amy for Assembly because she cares about our members' ability to provide for themselves and their families here in California," said Matt Maldonado, chair of AFSCME California PEOPLE. "The reality for many of our members is that healthcare is unaffordable, wages can't keep up with inflation, and retirement is out of reach for millions. It's never been more important to have somebody like Amy elected and ready to make real policy change based on genuine care and compassion for her community.
These key labor endorsements not only bolster Amy’s campaign but prove that District 7, a swing district represented by Democratic Assemblymember Ken Cooley until 2022, could be poised to swing back to Democratic control in 2026.
California’s 7th Assembly district is located in Sacramento County. Learn more at AmySlavensky.com.
