Election a Win for Local 2803

The Local was very successful in our efforts to help elect members to the Board of Supervisors who are willing to listen to and address our issues. The candidates the Local supported are very thankful for all of the help they received from the members of the Local. Of the five candidates the Local endorsed the following four were elected to the Board: Marleen Durfee, Dan Gecker, Art Warren, and Jim Holland.
