Washington, D.C. Building Trades Unions Endorse Braveboy for Maryland Attorney General


Camp Springs, MD. April 16, 2014.  The 15 affiliate unions of the Washington, D.C. Building and Construction Trades Council are pleased to announce our support for Delegate Aisha Braveboy in the June 24, 2014 Democratic primary election for Maryland Attorney General.  Aisha has been a loyal friend to construction industry workers throughout her eight years in the Maryland House of Delegates.  She has consistently stood with us in the legislature and now we are standing with her in the race for Attorney General.

“Aisha has been a reliable fighter for Maryland workers,” said Mark Coles, Executive Secretary Treasurer of the Washington, D.C. Building and Construction Trades Council.  “She has been a leader on issue after issue that affects the economic livelihood of Maryland workers.  Whether strengthening prevailing wage laws, raising the minimum wage or improving workplace safety, Aisha is someone we can always count on to do the right thing for working families,” said Coles. 

“I am grateful to receive the endorsement of the Washington, D.C. Building and Construction Trades Council,” said Delegate Aisha Braveboy.  “As Attorney General, I will continue the fight to protect workers’ rights.”

The Building and Construction Trades Council will make the election of Aisha Braveboy a top priority.  We will provide financial support, communicate our support for Aisha to union members and their households and get out the vote for her in the June primary election.
