Iowa City Federation of Labor Endorsement

Thanks to the City Federation of Labor for their kind endorsement of my re-election. I'm so happy to have labor's endorsement again.

The Iowa City Federation of Labor is proud to endorse Janelle Rettig for re-election to the Johnson County Board of Supervisors in the Democratic Primary Election June 5th.

Federation delegates, from over a dozen different unions representing thousands of workers in our community, voted unanimously to endorse Rettig based on her track record of real success in making Johnson County a better place for all working people.

Rettig has been a true champion for worker-led initiatives to raise the minimum wage, ensure worker safety and fair standards on county-funded construction projects, and establish the ground-breaking Johnson County Community ID program. Moreover, Rettig consistently seeks input from residents across the socio-economic spectrum, ensuring that highly paid professionals, low-wage workers, students, the unemployed, and everyone in between has a voice and a seat at the table in local government decisions that affect all members of our diverse community.

A vote for Rettig in the June 5th primary is a vote for a strong local economy that works for all. - Greg Hearns, President, Iowa City Federation of Labor (AFL-CIO)
