Hey John, it's Brad Lander.
After receiving an endorsement from the United Auto Workers Region 9A endorsement earlier this week, I wanted to give you the full story about my fight for working people.
I don't want to come off like I'm bragging John, but let's just say I don't just talk the talk — I've walked the walk for my whole career.
So before I ask you to support my campaign [[link removed]] , let me break down some of the highlights for you. ⬇️
As a member of the City Council, I passed the nation's first law to guarantee a living wage for Uber, Lyft, and other for-hire drivers. I also introduced and passed the first law in the country requiring minimum pay for deliveristas working for DoorDash, Grubhub, Uber Eats, and other food service apps.
I worked with the Freelancers Union to create and pass the Freelance Isn't Free Act, which gives groundbreaking protections to independent contractors in our city, and passed legislation that protects fast food workers from cruel and erratic scheduling practices and arbitrary firings.
And in the same way that the battle for labor rights is never-ending, my work didn't stop when I became your Comptroller.
Since 2022, our Comptroller's Office has recovered over $20 million in owed wages. We created a new Workers' Rights team, which works across the labor and progressive movements to advance new projects and bring together stakeholders, and we deployed our pension funds to support workers at Starbucks and Amazon.
And when the corporations went after the minimum pay protections we passed in the Council, I went to bat against them — and won.
Our campaign earned this endorsement because I'm ready to champion labor on my first day in Congress.
I'll find ways to confront capital and empower workers while forces like AI, automation, and gig work transform our economy in ways we can't even predict.
I'm ready to fight, not fold when it comes to the rights of our workers — and I've got the track record and endorsements to prove it. Can you help me bring this fight to Congress by chipping in to support our campaign today? [[link removed]]
