Last night, UA Local 85 stood together in solidarity and unanimously voted to endorse Sheriff Chris Swanson for Governor of Michigan. His passion, leadership, and unwavering commitment to protecting working families, upholding labor rights, and bringing people together make him the right choice for Michigan's future. Chris is a man of action, not just words. With over 32 years of service as a police officer, a deep-rooted connection to Michigan’s working class, and a relentless drive to protect, serve, and unify, he embodies the leadership our state needs. He spoke to our members about the importance of strong labor, public safety, and servant leadership, reinforcing what we already knew, he's the kind of leader who follows through on his promises. ✅ Protecting Our Rights – Chris is committed to safeguarding workers' rights, bargaining rights, and constitutional freedoms. ✅ Serving the People – His track record proves he stands on the front lines, tackling crises head-on, whether it's the Flint water crisis or fighting the opioid epidemic. ✅ Unifying Michigan – In a time of division, Chris is focused on bringing people together, regardless of background or politics. As Chris said last night: "You built America, and I keep it safe. We’re a lot alike." UA Local 85 is proud to stand with Chris Swanson for Governor, a leader who fights for Michigan’s working men and women. #SwansonForMI #UALocal85 #MichiganStrong #LeadershipWeCanTrust (fb)
