Our Farm Team Program is working! Though we may not come out victorious in every race, our union brothers and sisters have brought incredible leadership skills to their campaigns and demonstrated their commitment to Union Brothers and Sisters and their communities.
Four of our Farm Team Candidates had Primary Races; two others face opponents in the General Election.
While JB did not make it into the General Election, it needs to be said that he fought a valiant fight. He was honorable and diligent throughout his campaign. I am proud to call JB my Brother and worked with him on his campaign and having him as a Farm Team member.
Each Farm Team member will face fresh challenges going into the General Election. Linda, Don and Scott will each be facing one opponent for the victory, and it will be a gloves off fight to the finish. Dan and Paul, who have been steadily working on their General Election campaigns, will be facing the same battles. This is far from over. All efforts started again yesterday and will intensify until the Polls close on Election Day.
Anyone who is interested in supporting the Farm Team candidate(s) in their area please contact your Central Labor Council or Phyllis Garrett at pgarrett@flaflcio.org.
