CWA Endorses Vice President Kamala Harris

Earlier this week, in the wake of President Biden’s departure from the presidential race, CWA’s Executive Board endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for President. In a statement announcing the endorsement, they noted, “On one side is a candidate who has always taken the side of corporate interests and is advancing a policy agenda that would destroy our union and take away fundamental workers’ rights. On the other side is a candidate with a consistent record fighting to empower the working class and unions who has centered CWA’s members' concerns in her policies. The choice is clear.”

The Board’s endorsement resolution goes on to outline the key role Vice President Harris has played in making the Biden-Harris Administration one of the most pro-union, pro-worker administrations in the history of the United States. It notes Harris’s long history of support for working people as both a U.S. Senator and Attorney General of California.

“We are enthusiastic and ready to elect Kamala Harris the next President of the United States,” said CWA President Claude Cummings Jr. “She has visited our members on the job, listened to them at meetings of the White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment, and made sure their concerns, and the concerns of our retirees, are addressed in the Administration’s policies. With Kamala Harris leading our country, we will continue to have a seat at the table to improve the lives of CWA members and retirees and strengthen our communities.”
