North Central Ohio Building and Construction Trades Council Endorses Dr. Amy Acton’s Campaign for Governor
AMHERST, OH– Today, the North Central Ohio Building and Construction Trades Council endorsed Amy Acton’s campaign for governor, citing her commitment to working people, her focus on lowering costs for working families, and her promise to lead with labor values as Governor of Ohio.
The North Central Ohio Building and Construction Trades Council is the third regional construction trades council to break with the statewide chapter, Affiliated Construction Trades (ACT), which endorsed Vivek Ramaswamy for governor.
Dr. Acton has been endorsed by several key labor groups in Ohio, including the Columbus/Central Ohio Building and Construction Trades Council, the Dayton Building and Construction Trades Council, the Ohio Nurses Association, the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, the Ohio Federation of Teachers, the United Auto Workers, the Service Employees International Union District 1199, the Communications Workers of America, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the United Mine Workers of America, and the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades District Council 6.
“The North Central Ohio Building and Construction Trades Council is thrilled to endorse Dr. Amy Acton for governor. She will fight to lower costs for our members and their families and will always put working people first,” said Chuck Brooky, President of the North Central Ohio Building and Construction Trades Council. “Dr. Acton is committed to supporting Ohio’s unions, and we know she will stand alongside us every step of the way.”
“I am humbled and grateful to receive the endorsement of the North Central Ohio Building and Construction Trades Council,” said Dr. Amy Acton. “I am fighting for Ohio’s working families and to keep our unions strong. While my out-of-touch billionaire opponent would raise costs for working Ohioans, I will lower costs with a tax cut for working families, lead with pro-labor values, and build an Ohio where all of us can get ahead.”
