SEIU Endorses Meek
February 16th, 2009 by Mike Vasilinda
A major Florida union is endorsing United States Congressman Kendrick Meek in his campaign for U.S. Senate. Service Employees International Union, or SEIU, is behind Meek, calling him a champion for service workers. Meek says he is ready for the challenges ahead and hopes his record in the state legislature and 8 years in Congress will speak for itself. Meek was the first person to seek the job and recent speculation on Governor Charlie Crist entering the race has not scared Meek.
“If the Governor is considering running he’s on the list of many,” Meek said. “I can tell you this, titles don’t win elections, people do, and my track record with people is a good one and I think that’s the reason why I’m standing here with SEIU today.”
SEIU Florida represents 45,000 active and retired members across the state.
