Following a unanimous AFL-CIO endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president on Monday, Wisconsin union members are excited to welcome Vice President Kamala Harris back to Wisconsin.
Vice President Harris visited West Allis Central High School today for her first campaign appearance as a presidential candidate where she discussed her plans for a pro-worker economy where working people can get ahead. Today’s visit is Harris’ fifth to Wisconsin this year and her ninth visit to the state since taking office.
Vice President Harris has been a true partner in leading the most pro-union administration in history. As Chair of the White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Worker Empowerment, Kamala Harris is working to advance new organizing and support strong unions. She played a critical role in rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, investing in good-paying union jobs, bringing manufacturing back to America, lowering prescription drug costs and raising wages. In her capacity as Vice President, Harris cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate to pass the American Rescue Plan Act, saving pensions for more than one million workers.
With President Harris, we can build on the legacy of the Biden-Harris administration to create good union jobs, provide meaningful economic opportunity to workers, and make our economy work for all of us.
United, together, Wisconsin workers are ready to defeat Donald Trump, J.D. Vance and their devastating anti-worker Project 2025 agenda in November. Sign up today to volunteer with our Labor Votes 2024 political education and mobilization program at wisaflcio.org/mobilize.
