The San Diego Building & Construction Trades Council and its delegates have met with, interviewed, discussed, and endorsed key candidates and ballot initiatives for the next election. You can be certain that these candidates and ballot initiatives are important to the success of our unions, and the work we are able to do here in San Diego County.

| County of San Diego – Board of Supervisors – District No. 1 | Paloma Aguirre |
Your local union’s representatives (usually delegates, executive board members, and appointed representatives) have participated at the local level through the San Diego County Building & Construction Trades Council and/or the San Diego & Imperial Counties Labor Council endorsement processes as well as at the state level through the California State Building Trades Council and/or the California Federation of Labor Unions. These processes include research on candidates and ballot measures, interviews of candidates and issues advocates, and votes by delegate and executive board bodies to determine whether an candidate or ballot measure should receive a labor endorsement. Candidates must demonstrate with their past voting histories (if an incumbent or former elected official) and/or by answering detailed questionnaires that they support the values and work of labor unions and their members.
If there is a race or issue that is not on this card, but is on your ballot, it means candidates or advocates for the issue did not seek or receive an endorsement from the San Diego Building Trades Council or the San Diego & Imperial Counties Labor Council.
