Hi folks,
I’m Ken Sagar, retired president of the Iowa Federation of Labor. But today I’m not here to give you an update on labor issues around the state, I’m here to support my friend, long-time labor ally Abby Finkenauer.
While I was at the AFL-CIO, we eagerly supported her first run in 2018. And although I’m no longer working for a union, I can still testify to her dedication to workers in Iowa.
She didn’t just make promises, she went out and got results for all of us.
Now it’s our turn to help her. Abby’s up against a tight deadline -- and we need to rally around her. She needs to raise $5,328 before midnight tomorrow to hit her end-of-July Ad Fund goal. Making a contribution today is directly supporting a pro-labor agenda. Click here.
Abby’s father was a union pipefitter-welder. She didn’t learn about working Iowans’ issues second-hand. She learned about them by living them -- knowing her family’s well-being depended on our ability to ensure fair wages, workplace safety, and comprehensive benefits.
Now it’s even more important to back pro-labor leaders like Abby. Her opponent has taken money from a Koch backed group, AFP, that wants “to take the unions out at the knees.”
Yes, that’s a quote from a former AFP and 2016 Trump campaign staffer. Abby’s opponent has the backing of both groups.
So when I tell you we need to support Abby today, you can see why. Click here and chip in to her campaign today.
Thank you,
Ken
